François Lamathe Bédos de Celles de Salelles, known as Dom Bédos de Celles, (24 January 1709 – 25 November 1779) was a Benedictine monk best known for being a master pipe organ builder. ==Life & work== He was born in Caux, Hérault, near Béziers, France. He was elected to the French Academy of Sciences at Bordeaux and correspondent of the Academy at Paris in 1758. As a recognized organ-builder, he was called upon to carry out repairs and appraise and advise other organ-builders in many locations across France. In 1760 he published ''"La Gnomonique pratique ou l’Art de tracer les cadrans solaires"'' under the patronage of the Jean-Paul Grandjean de Fouchy, Secretary of the Academy of Sciences and an authority in gnomonics and sundials. In 1766-78 he published his treatise ''L'art du facteur d'orgues'' (The Art of the Organ-Builder). This monumental opus contains great historical detail about eighteenth-century organ building, and is still referred to by modern organ-builders. He is buried in the former Abbey (now Basilica) of Saint-Denis. 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「Dom Bédos de Celles」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
