  S-caron Bio @ BareHands.com (Bare Hands)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The use of the caron (and the acute accent) for Latin characters was introduced into the Czech language in the fifteenth century by Jan Hus in his De Ortographia Bohemica (1412).
The caron is also often used as a diacritical mark on consonants for romanization of text from non-Latin writing systems, particularly in the scientific transliteration of Slavic languages (a method used in linguistics, based on the Croatian alphabet).
The caron is used in Americanist phonetic notation as a diacritic to indicate various types of pronunciation.

He embraced the ecclesiastical state and was chaplain to the Duke of Orléans.
In 1625 he was once more in France, returned to Canada a year later, was elected superior of his order at Quebec, and filled this office until the capture of Quebec by the English in 1629, when he and his colleagues were sent back to France by the conquerors.
Le Caron was a saintly man, given to the practice of austerities, but gentle towards others.
