Jean-Baptiste Pérès Jean-Baptiste Pérès (1752–1840) was a French physicist best known for his 1827 pamphlet "Grand Erratum", a polemical satire, translated into many European languages, that attempted "in the interest of conservative theology, to reduce to an absurdity the purely negative tendencies of the rationalistic criticism of the Scriptures then in vogue" (as Frederick W. Loetscher described what he called "the celebrated pamphlet" in "The Princeton Theological Review" 1906) through humorously suggesting ways in which the history of Napoleon Bonaparte could be shown to be an expression of an ancient sun myth.
