  Guillaume du Vair - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Guillaume du Vair (March 7, 1556 - August 3, 1621) was a French author and lawyer.
In 1595, Vair published his treatise De l'éloquence française et des raisons pour quoi elle est demeurée si basse, in which he criticizes the orators of his day, adding examples from the speeches of ancient orators, in translations which reproduce the spirit of the originals.
Du Vair had a great indirect influence on the development of style in French, for in the south of France he made the acquaintance of François de Malherbe, who conceived a great admiration for Du Vair's writings.

Wim Bots delves into the evangelical themes found in Joachim du Bellay's poetry, which touted the virtues of charity and tolerance in a church expunged of its many detestable faults, and under the firm tutelage of a pious king.
According to Bots, Du Bellay's views served as a precursor to the eventual confessional settlement achieved under Henri IV in the 1598 Edict of Nantes.

But Peiresc's own contemporaries hailed him (in various political metaphors) as the "pilot" at the helm of the ship of learning or as the "stomach" of this new body politic, transforming the nutrients provided by its members into the "juice and blood" that circulates throughout.
Indeed, he seems ideally suited for this role, scion of an ancient and wealthy Provençal family, member of the Parlement of Aix, and protégé of the royal keeper of the seals and acclaimed neo-Stoic philosopher, Guillaume Du Vair.
Aside from his money and connections, he also benefited from his position as a provincial parlementarian, which provided him access to royal records while insulating him from court intrigues.
