b. 1759
A French clergyman who stepped into revolutionary politics, he served as a deputy from the Gers during the early years of the French Revolution. His life traces the path of an abbé navigating a time of dramatic change in France.
Born in 1759, Joachim Perez du Gief was a French abbé and political figure associated with the department of Gers. He is listed in the Archives parlementaires as Joachim Perez, with dates given as 1759–1822.
During the French Revolution, he served as a deputy representing the sénéchaussée of Lectoure, in Gers. That places him among the clergy who moved from religious life into national politics at a turning point in French history.
Reliable biographical detail appears to be limited in the sources I could confirm, so many aspects of his personal life and writing remain unclear.
