dupin continued his "bibliothèque", which was put on the "index" long after his death (10 may 1757), though other works of his were condemned at an earlier date. he was also criticized by richard simon, though the two had similar views and employed similar methods so that when bossuet was writing the "défense de la tradition et des saints pères" (which did not appear, however, until 1743), he included both in his invectives against the "haughty critics" who inclined to rabbinism and the errors of socinus. although dupin spoke favourably of arnauld and signed the "cas de conscience", he was not a jansenist. rather, on these matters he shared the opinions of launoy, who "had found a way to be at once both demi-pelagian and jansenist".
