Principal Writings
- Histoire de la vie de Jesus-Christ (about 1673)
- Le catéchisme de la pénitence (1676)
- L'Année chrétienne, ou les Messes des Dimanches, Féries et Fêtes de toute l'année, en latin et en français, avec l'explication des Epîtres et des Evangiles et un abrégé de la Vie des Saints, dont on fait l'Office. Of this work Letourneux wrote nine volumes, and two were added by the Belgian Jansenist, Ruth d'Ans. Six volumes were published before 1686, when they were condemned for their Jansenistic views. The work was placed on the Index Librorum Prohibitorum on 7 Sept., 1695.
- Principes et règles de la vie chrétienne (Paris, 1688)
- Explication littéraire et morale de l'épître de S. Paul aux Romains (Paris, 1695)
- Bréviaire Romain en latin et français (4 vols., Paris, 1687), condemned by the archiepiscopal authorities as heretical and for containing innovation contrary to the spirit and practice of the Church. The episcopal ban was subsequently removed, and the work was never placed on the Roman Index.

Famous quotes containing the words principal and/or writings:
“... [a] girl one day flared out and told the principal “the only mission opening before a girl in his school was to marry one of those candidates [for the ministry].” He said he didn’t know but it was. And when at last that same girl announced her desire and intention to go to college it was received with about the same incredulity and dismay as if a brass button on one of those candidate’s coats had propounded a new method for squaring the circle or trisecting the arc.”
—Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)
“An able reader often discovers in other people’s writings perfections beyond those that the author put in or perceived, and lends them richer meanings and aspects.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
