  Boileau - LoveToKnow 1911
Boileau does not merely lay down rules for the language of poetry, but analyses carefully the various kinds of verse composition, and enunciates the principles peculiar to each.
The fifth and sixth cantos, afterwards added by Boileau, rather detract from the beauty of the poem; the last canto in particular is quite unworthy of his genius.
Antoine Arnauld in the year of his death wrote a letter in defence of Boileau, but when at the desire of his friends he submitted his reply to Bossuet, the bishop pronounced all satire to be incompatible with the spirit of Christianity, and the loth satire to be subversive of morality.

 Nicolas Boileau
On English literature the maxims of Boileau, through the translation revised by John Dryden, and through the magnificent imitation of them in Alexander Pope's Essay on Criticism, have exercised no slight influence.

 Nicolas Boileau - Wikipédia
Mais avant Boileau personne n'avait encore si bien écrit en vers, ni développé comme lui toutes les ressources de la langue poétique; les sept premières satires qui parurent en 1666, obtinrent un succès prodigieux, qu'accrut encore la haine maladroite des auteurs que le jeune poète avait critiqués.
Comme poète, Boileau mérite à jamais la reconnaissance de la postérité pour avoir achevé d'expulser le mauvais goût, et fixé d'une manière invariantes les lois et les ressources de la véritable poésie.
Un des meilleurs éloges de Boileau est celui de Louis Simon Auger, couronné par l'Institut en 1805.

 H-Net Multimedia Reviews: Mike Smith on The Fabulous Ruins of Detroit
Moreover, Boileau suggests that we should explore and ponder these contemporary remains of a modern urban civilization with the same zeal as we might approach the ancient ruins of Athens, Rome or Ephesus.
Boileau also devotes a few words to the causes of Detroit's present situation, suggesting that the city's decline can be largely traced to the dispersal of its population resulting in loss of revenue.
For example, Boileau states that: "A lack of free parking and the easy access provided to suburban shopping malls by new expressways in the post World War II era led to its [Detroit's] decline." The story is, of course, much more complex than his conclusions suggest.

 Anse Boileau - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anse Boileau is a quiet district on the south of the island of Mahé, in the Seychelles.
Anse Boileau beautifully and simultaneously encapsulates the natural wonders of the Seychelles: it sits at the foot of a steep, very green mountain, it is on the shores of the Indian Ocean, and in its midst are streams, mini-forests, creeks, ponds, and an enchanting array of all that defines the Seychellois landscape.
It is often described as a 'fishing village' because many of the local residents fish for a living; it has a school, a restaurant, a number of grocery shops, a health centre and a police station.

And although Boileau was farsighted enough to copyright 141 of his works with the US Patent Office, the where-abouts of most of his original art is still unknown.

 Nicholas Boileau biography
He has been studied by generations because his is the art that can be learned, as Pope, his best pupil, learned it, though his own Horace might have taught him that the true poet could not be made.
Boileau repeated and enforced his critical views in the prose Dialogue des héros de roman, whose authorship he at first concealed, and in Réflections critiques sur Longin (1693).
This and all the poems are filled with cleverly turned lines that remain as familiar quotations, but Boileau should be most gratefully remembered as the first systematic critic of France, the first to make criticism an art.

 17th century manuscript of famous work on flagellation by Abbé Boileau
One of the most famous works of its kind, written as a medical and spiritual tract on the treatment of a pathology and the right education of youths, and advocating flagellation as a method of instruction.
BOILEAU, Abbé J. Historia Flagellatium de recto et perverso flagrorum usu apud Christianos, Ex antiguis Scriptura, Patrum, Pontificum, Conciliorum, and Scriptorum Profanorum monumentis cum cura and fide expressa.

Boileau was born in Paris, studied theology and then law at the Sorbonne, and became a barrister 1656, but later turned to literature.
Although L'Art poétique is considered by modern scholars to be a statement of views current at the time rather than an expression of original ideas of his own, Boileau's influence in the 18th century was nevertheless considerable.
