Baltus, Jean François (1667-1743)
A learned Jesuit who affirmed that the oracles of the ancients were the work of demons and that they were reduced to silence during the mission of Christ upon the earth. He propounded this view in his reply to Le Bovier de Fontonelle's L'Histoire des Oracles under the title Réponse á L'Historic des Oracles de Mr. de Fontonelle (1707), translated into English as An Answer to Mr. de Fontonelle's History of Oracles (1709).
