Adrien Baillet (June 13, 1649 – January 21, 1706) was a French scholar and critic. He is now best known as a biographer of René Descartes. ==Life== He was born in the village of Neuville near Beauvais, in Picardy. His parents could only afford to send him to a small school in the village, but he picked up some Latin from the friars of a neighbouring convent, who brought him under the notice of the bishop of Beauvais. By his kindness Baillet received a thorough education at the theological seminary, and was afterwards appointed to a post as teacher in the college of Beauvais. In 1676 he was ordained priest and was presented to a small vicarage. He accepted in 1680 the appointment of librarian to François-Chrétien de Lamoignon, advocate-general to the parlement of Paris. He made a ''catalogue raisonné'' (in 35 vols.) of its library, all written with his own hand. The remainder of his life was spent in incessant, unremitting labour; so keen was his devotion to study that he allowed himself only five hours a day for rest. With regard to René Descartes, he is popularly said to have recorded the three dreams leading up to the Cartesian Cogito. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Adrien Baillet」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
