Jean Daudin
Jean Daudin[1] (died 1382) was a French canon and translator of the fourteenth century.
Biography
Jean Daudin was born in Franconville, Val-d'Oise. He became a canon at Sainte-Chapelle, Paris in 1367. It was around this time that the works of Petrarca (1304–1374) began to be translated into other modern languages. Daudin translated De remediis utriusque fortunae into French for the Dauphin at the request of King Charles V, who paid him two hundred gold francs for this version.[2] He also translated Vincent of Beauvais's De eruditione filiorum nobilium.[3]
Jean Daudin died in 1382 and was buried in the Chapel of Saint-Michel du Palais. His epitaph is written as follows:
Hic jacet Cognomine Daudin, Cui Franconvilla genitale solum; Plange Pecus virum Quem deflet Orthographia, Et Selecta Philosophia, Qui transtulit in Gallos, Plurium scripta. Versiculos, Daudine, sequeris, Versiculosus eras, versiculosus eris.[4]
