Project

On the Crossroads of Catholicism, Mathematics and Economics: The Life and Work of the French Jesuit Maurice Potron (1872-1942).

The main purpose is to make a synthesis of documents from family and public archives concerning the French Jesuit mathematician Maurice Potron (1872-1942). The synthesis will serve both for the English edition of Potron's economic papers, currently under preparation by Christian Bidard and Guido Erreygers (Routledge), and for a more deatailed book in French, by Christian Bidard, on the familial, social historical and religious roots of this remarkable work.
