Born in Paris in 1848, the son of a professor of literature, Pierre-Louis-Émile Nicolaÿ (1812-1890) and Julie Joséphine Vignon (1821-1891), he was a descendant of artesian coopers (Boulonnais).
He studied law at Sorbonne College and the Collège de Franc and became a lawyer at the Paris Court of Appeal in 1872, defending, among others, Albert de Mun, the Archbishop of Paris and the Pilgrim, and was a regular legal advisor to ecclesiastical authorities in their struggle against the anti-clerical measures taken by the Republicans from 1880.
A militant Catholic with clerical and anti-modernist views, he was a member of the Corporation of Christian Publicists and the National League Against Atheism for ten years. He was a speaker of the movement for the “defense of religious freedoms and the rights of the fathers of the family” in May 1880, as well as at the Catholic Conference in 1888. A prolific author, his conservative, patriarchal and paternalistic views were reflected in his works.
He was awarded the Commander of Saint-Grégoire-le-Grand by Pope Pius X and also received awards from the French Academy and the Academy of Moral and Political Sciences.
Nicolay was married to Alice-Marie-Rose-Albertine Gripon (1861-1923) in 1881 and had five children.
He died in Paris, France in 1922 at the age of 74.vizualizați mai puține
