Very early he displayed talent in the study of languages and signs of a religious vocation. He took the habit of St. Benedict in the Abbey of St. Faro at Meaux, and made his religious profession on 21 Nov.

He then studied philosophy and theology, and in 1712 was sent to Paris to assist Dom Bernard de Montifacon in his literary work. Charles de la Rue wrote several tragedies, brought out an edition of Virgil, and wrote several Latin poems. This item is in the category "Books & Magazines\Antiquarian & Collectible".
