Oudin; Roucher, In his Mois, has imitated the second of these poems; — Veritas vindicata (ibid. and Lucca, 1753, 2 vols.), this is a criticism upon the Theologia Christiana of P. Coucina, a Dominican monk, who had declared war against the probabilism and renissness of the doctrines of the Jesuits some Latin and Italian Poesies in a collection of the Academy of the Arcades.
