Francois Hotman - LoveToKnow 1911 |
 | | FRANCOIS HOTMAN (1524-1590), French publicist, eldest son of Pierre Hotman, was born on the 23rd of August 1524, at Paris, his family being of Silesian origin. |
 | | Giving up a career on which he had entered with high repute, he went in 1547 to Lyons, and thence to Geneva and to Lausanne, where, on the recommendation of Calvin, he was appointed professor of belles-lettres and history, and married Claudine Aubelin, a refugee from Orleans. |
 | | Hotman was a man of pure life, real piety (as his Consolatio shows) and warm domestic virtues. |
