François-Hyacinthe Choquet

François-Hyacinthe Choquet (ca. 1580–1645) was a Dominican hagiographer and spiritual author in the Spanish Netherlands.

Life

Choquet was born in Lille, in Walloon Flanders, around 1580. As a young man he was professed as a member of the Dominican Order in Antwerp. Iñigo de Brizuela, the Archduke Albert's Dominican confessor, sent Choquet to the University of Salamanca to study Theology. From 1608 to 1616 he taught at the Dominican house of studies in Louvain. In 1611 he attended the order's general chapter in Paris. On 28 July 1615 he was awarded a doctorate in Theology from the University of Douai. In 1616 he was appointed to the Dominican house of studies in Douai.[1]

He died in Antwerp on 6 February 1645.
