Antoine de Montazet (17 August 1713 – 2 May 1788) was a French theologian of
archbishop of Lyon. He was elected to the Académie Française in 1756, but did not produce significant literary works.[1]
Montazet was born in
bishop of Pistoia and Prato, until condemned by the Index Librorum Prohibitorum
in 1792.
Contrary to the
Cardinal Bonald to suppress the innovations of Montazet provoked resistance on the part of the canons, who defended the traditional Lyonnese ceremonies.[2]
