Nicolas Barnaud〔Nicolaus Barnaud, Nicolaus Barnaudus, Nicolas de Crest, Nicholas Barnaud.〕 (1538–1604) was a French Protestant writer, physician and alchemist, from Crest, in Dauphiné, from which he took the name Delphinas (or Delphinus). He was a member of the Monarchomaques. He is associated with a number of mysteries. His 1597 collection ''Commentariolum in Aenigmaticum quoddam Epitaphium'',〔(Online scans, original )〕〔(Online scans ) from the ''Theatrum Chemicum''.〕 on the Aelia Laelia Crispis puzzle inscription, included the alchemical Mass of Nicholas Melchior, still of disputed authorship. The 1599 ''Triga chemica: de lapide philosophico tractatus tres''〔(online scans ).〕 was the first publication of the ''Book of Lamspring'', by the unknown Abraham Lambspring. Other works are the collection ''Quadriga aurifera''〔(Online scan ).〕 of 1599, and ''De Occulta philosophia'' (1601). Barnaud traveled widely around the turn of the seventeenth century. This has led to suggestions that he was setting up some sort of hermetic network, on the fabled lines of the Rosicrucians.〔This idea was put about by Johann Salomon Semler in the late eighteenth century. Arthur Edward Waite, ''The Pictorial Symbols of Alchemy'' ((PDF )), would have it that Barnaud was looking for Rosicrucians.〕 He is supposed to have lodged with Tadeáš Hájek, during a stay in Prague in the 1580s or 1590s, meeting Anselmus de Boodt. He has been unreliably connected with accounts of John Dee and Edward Kelley in Prague. Earlier in life he played an itinerant role as a Calvinist activist, in Geneva and Holland. Pamphleteering works of politics and satire ''Le reveille-matin des François et de leurs voisins'',〔A radical Huguenot work, issued 1574 under the pseudonym Eusèbe Philadelphe Cosmopolite, cf.(). () suggests it was by Barnaud and Theodore Beza, following J. H. M. Salmon, ''The French Religious Wars in English Political Thought''. Harold Laski identifies La Boétie as contributing, reckoning Barnaud as possibly the compiler ().〕 and the ''Le Cabinet du roy de France''〔Also attributed to Nicolas Froumenteau.〕 and ''Le miroir des Francois'' of 1581,under the name Nicolas de Montand or Montant, are often attributed to him. ==Notes== 〔 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「Nicolas Barnaud」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
