François Rabelais

    • Le Duchat France, through a representative in a foreign land, however, comes into line again in the beginning of the eighteenth century, and in a really serious fashion, thanks to the very considerable learning of a French refugee, Jacob Le Duchat, who died in In he published an edition of Rabelais at Amsterdam, through Henry Bordesius, in five duodecimo volumes.

    The reprint in quarto which he issued in , seven years before his death, is, with its engravings by Bernard Picot, a fine library edition.
