Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Biographical Dictionary, Vol. 14 of 15: Containing an Historical and Critical Account of the Lives and Writings of the Most Eminent Persons in Every Nation; Particularly the British and Irish; From the Earliest Accounts of Time to the Present Period, Wherein Their Remarkable Actions and Sufferi Sirmond (James), a French Jesuit, whose name has been famous among men of letters, was son of a magistrate, and born at Riom in 1559 [A]. At ten years of age, he was sent to the college of Billom, the first which the Jesuits had in France. He entered into the society in 1576, and two years after made his vows. His superiors, finding out his uncommon talents and great genius, sent him to Paris; where he taught classical literature two year, and rhetoric three. During this time, he acquired a perfect knowledge of the Greek and Latin languages; and formed his style, which has been so much esteemed by the learned. It is said, that he took Muretus for his model, and never passed a day without reading some pages in his writings. In 1586, he began his course of divinity, which lasted four years. He undertook at that time to translate into Latin the works of the Greek fathers, and began to write notes upon Sidonius Apollinaris. In 1590, he was sent for to Rome by the general of the order, Aquaviva, to take upon him the office of his secretary; which he discharged sixteen years with success. He took the thoughts of his general perfectly well, and expressed them study of antiquity was at that time his principal object: he visited libraries, and consulted manuscripts: he contemplated antiques, medals, and inscription: and the Italians, though jealous of the honour of their nation, acknowledge, that he knew these curiosities better than they did; and frequently consulted him upon difficult questions.
