Jean-Louis de Cordemoy
The Abbé Jean-Louis de Cordemoy (1655-1714) was a French architectural historian, prior of St-Nicolas at La-Ferté-sous-Jouarre (Seine-et-Marne), and a canon at St-Jean-des-Vignes, Soissons (Aisne). His ''Nouveau Traité de toute l’architecture'' was amongst the first studies of ecclesiastical architecture, wherein he praised the Gothic style for its clear expression of structure. Influenced by Michel de Frémin and Claude Perrault his ideas of ''ordonnance'', ''disposition'' and ''bienséance'' as expressions of integrity to nature and structure were early precursors of the modern concepts of functionalism and truth to materials.〔History of Architectural Theory, Hanno-Walter Kruft, 1994, p.141.〕 He had a considerable influence on 18th-century architectural theory, especially Antoine Desgodetz, Marc-Antoine Laugier, de la Hire and Boffrand. He also participated in an acrimonious debate with the engineer Amédée-François Frézier regarding sacred architecture in the Jesuit periodical ''Mémoires de Trévoux'', a skirmish in the Quarrel of the Ancients and the Moderns.
==Life==
Little is known of the early life of Jean-Louis de Cordemoy, the architectural theorist. He was one of the five sons of Gerauld de Cordemoy (1626-1684), philosopher and historian, member of Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet’s Petit Concile, author of the ''Discours physique de la parole'' (Paris, 1668), upheld by Noam Chomsky as a founding text of linguistics. Gerauld de Cordemoy was author also of the ''Histoire de France'', finished off after his death and published in two volumes, 1685 and 1689, by his eldest son, Louis-Gerauld de Cordemoy, abbot of Feniers, a Cistercian foundation, in the Auvergne. Gerauld de Cordemoy’s other children were Joseph-Charles, seigneur of Tournelles at Sery, in the diocese of Soissons, and of l’Epine-aux-Bois (Aisne); Jacques, abbot of Narcé, in the parish of Faye-la-Vineuse, near Richelieu (Indre et Loire); Jeanne-Marguerite, chatelaine of Ailleval, near Roucy, east of Soissons in the Aisne valley; and Adrien, seigneur of La Saulsaye (Sauldaye) and of Nueil, described as “lecteur ordinaire du dauphin”. The Cordemoy family was established in Paris, successively in the rue Brantôme, the rue du Maure, and in a two-story house in the cul-de-sac Beaubourg (later des Anglais), clearly visible on the Turgot map of Paris, now absorbed into the rue Beaubourg. This tiny precinct was inhabited by several architects, among them Libéral Bruant, Pierre Le Maistre and André Perrault.
The Cordemoy sons were, like their father, closely linked to Bossuet’s circle and thus, even after the dramatic rupture of July 1696, with Fénelon. After the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, in 1685, Jacques de Cordemoy formed part of a mission, led by Fénelon, to convert the Protestants of Saintonge. Fénelon arrived in Saintes on 15 December 1685, he returned to Paris in June 1686, but Jacques seems to have stayed on for ten years, or more, based at the port of La Tremblade, on the mouth of the Seudre, south of Rochefort, where Protestants gathered to embark for abroad. His impassioned reports survive from January 1693 to March 1694. Jean-Louis himself, promoted by Jérome Phélypeaux de Pontchartrain, minister de Marine, by his elder brother, Louis-Gerauld, was sent on a mission in 1700 to investigate the feasibility of floating logs by rivers from the Auvergne to the shipbuilding yards at the coast. He drew up a map of the area from Condat (Cantal), hard by Feniers, on the river Santoire, which joined the Rhue, and a parallel route from Valette, to the west, on the Sumène, also joining the Rhue, just before its junction with the Dordogne. A report was submitted in 1705. The project was approved by Vauban, but seems not to have been implemented.
When Jean-Louis took up religious orders is not known. He was, however, appointed prior of Belle Fontaine, a benefice of Saint-Barthelemy at Noyon, in the diocese of Beauvais (Oise), then, in accord with Augustinian practice, prior of Saint-Nicolas at La Ferté-sous-Jouarre, a benefice of Saint-Jean des Vignes at Soissons (Aisne). He was engaged in a lawsuit in 1691 with Paul de Lusignan, bishop of Rodez, abbot of Saint-Barthelemy at Noyon, as to the rights of Belle Fontaine, a case judged in his favour. Bossuet’s brother Antoine, one might note, was intendant de la généralité de Soissons and was a major creditor of Gerauld de Cordemoy when he died. Antoine’s address was given as rue des Fossés-Saint-Jacques, where the Perrault brothers lived, hard against the abbaye de Sainte-Geneviève, in Paris.
