    Abstract

    The 400th anniversary of the death of Saint Francis de Sales is an opportunity to evoke in “Seminare. Learned Investigations” his figure, academic and ascetic heritage and to pay tribute to the patron of Francis de Sales Scientific Society. This very author of “Introduction to the Devout Life” and “Treatise on the Love of God,” enamored with God and man, became the inspiration for initiatives of the scientific Society that was established 15 years ago in the Salesian milieu. Acknowledged by both secular historiography and Catholic hagiography as a humanist theologian, de Sales delineates the humanistic and personalistic profile of the research conducted within the framework of the Francis de Sales Scientific Society. The paper depicts de Sales as the Bishop of Geneva, Doctor of the Church, and patron of the Francis de Sales Scientific Society. The second part of the paper discusses the origin and the activities of the Society in its 15 years of existence.
