TL;DR: In the last third of the seventeenth century, a more charitable usage developed in Germany, denoting the predominantly visionary and inspirational elements in the formation of religious belief and practice.
Abstract: “‘Enthusiasm’ in the religious sense,” R. A. Knox says, “belongs to the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.”2 Before and after this period, the term “Enthusiasm — and its German equivalent “Schwarmerei” — had a strictly pejorative meaning. Luther often railed against “Schwarmer” and “Schwarmgeister” In Germany, however, “a more charitable usage developed in the last third of the seventeenth century, denoting the predominantly visionary and inspirational”3 elements in the formation of religious belief and practice. Though grounded for the most part in the Reformation, one cannot restrict the Enthusiasts or Schwarmer to the various Protestant sects. One must include Catholic mystics, quietists and Jansenist enthusiasts as well as Protestant pietists and millenarians. Besides the core of Schwarmer themselves, there were their allies — often quite sober and even professorial — who translated, published, and defended them: for example, Gottfried Arnold (1666–1714), briefly a professor at Giessen, has been called “the first historian of German Spiritualism” because of his sympathetic work, entitled (misleadingly) Unparteiische Kirchen-und Ketzer-Historie (1699); and Pierre Poiret (1646–1719), “the father of Romantic Mysticism in Germany,”4 whose followers (in particular, the numismatist Andreas Morell) kept telling Leibniz to read volume upon volume of various mystics and Schwarmer to change his attitude towards enthusiasm. Poiret attempted to present a synthesis of some sort of mystical or spiritual piety which went beyond confessional differences, even including pagan and Muslim sources.5

TL;DR: The discovery of certain documents, in particular his burial certificate and his parents' marriage contract, reveal the identity of his father Antoine Boullanger and mother, Genevieve Ledreux, and their address, rue Saint-Jacques, beside the Saint Yves chapel as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Marie-Therese Inguenaud : the family of Nicolas-Antoine Boullanger and jansenist circles. ; All that was known about the family of the philosopher N. A. Boullanger was that his parents were religious and that his father was a paper merchant. The discovery of certain documents, in particular his burial certificate and his parents' marriage contract, reveal the identity of his father Antoine (not Nicolas as Hampton and Sadrin thought) and mother, Genevieve Ledreux, and their address, rue Saint-Jacques, beside the Saint Yves chapel. This wealthy middle-class family was mainly composed of paper merchants, but was also allied to famous printers and booksellers like the Herissants and Lottins. They were all influenced by Jansenism and Boullanger' s parents are quoted in Carre de Montge-ron's La verite des miracles operes par l'intercession de M. de Pâris (1745-47) as witnesses of a miracle. His work retains the mark of his Jansenist education.
