Life
Touttée was born at Riom, Puy-de-Dôme. He studied the humanities with the Oratorians at Riom, made vows at the Abbey of Vendôme, 29 October 1698, and was ordained priest in December, 1702. He taught philosophy at Vendôme from 1702 to 1704 and theology at St-Benoît-sur-Loire from 1704–1708, and at St-Denis from 1708 to 1712.
Works
He then withdrew to St-Germain-des-Prés to prepare a new Greek edition and Latin translation of the works of Cyril of Jerusalem. He died at the Abbey of St. Germain-des-Prés, aged 41. His translation was issued after his death by Prudent Maran under the title: "S. Cyrilli Hiersolymit. opera quae extant omnia et ejus nomine circumferunter; ad mss. codd. castigata" (Paris, 1720; also in Patrologia Graeca, XXXIII). It is preceded by three learned dissertations on the life, writings, and doctrine of St. Cyril, and was at the time the standard edition.
