: Jeanne Le Ber (4 January 1662 – 3 October 1714) was a religious recluse in New France. == Family and Education == Jeanne Le Ber was born in Ville-Marie (Montreal), on January 4, 1662. As a daughter of Jeanne Le Moyne and Jacques le Ber, Jeanne was raised within a wealthy and influential family; her mother was a sister of Charles le Moyne. Jeanne Le Ber was baptized the day she was born by Gabriel Souart, Paul Chomedey de Maisonneuve being her godfather and Jeanne Mance her godmother.〔(Jaenen, C. J., "Le Ber", Jeanne", ''Dictionary of Canadian Biography'', vol. 2, University of Toronto/Université Laval, 2003 )〕 She took an early interest in the spiritual life of the community and was a frequent visitor with her godmother, Jeanne Mance at the Hôtel-Dieu. She also had a friendship with Marguerite Bourgeoys, the foundress of the Congregation of Notre Dame, who influenced her spiritual life. To complete her formal education she spent three years, 1674 to 1677, as a boarder with the Ursulines of Quebec where her aunt, Marie Le Ber de l’Annonciation, taught. At the age of 15, she returned to her family in Montreal.〔 As the only daughter (she had three younger brothers) of Jacques le Ber, with a dowry of approximately 50,000 écus, she was rightly considered the most eligible girl in New France.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jeanne Le Ber」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
