  Pierre Pithou - LoveToKnow 1911
PIERRE PITHOU (1539-1596), French lawyer and scholar, was born at Troyes on the 1st of November 1539.
On the outbreak of the second war of religion in 1567, Pithou, who was a Calvinist, withdrew to Sedan and afterwards to Basel, whence he returned to France on the publication of the edict of pacification.
Perhaps his edition of the Leges Visigothorum (1579) was his most valuable contribution to historical science; in the same line he edited the Capitula of Charlemagne, Louis the Pious, and Charles the Bald in 1588, and he also assisted his brother Francois in preparing an edition of the Corpus juris canonici (1687).

Three of Pithou's brothers acquired distinction as Jurists: Jean (1524-1602), author of Traite de police et du gouvernement des républiques, and, in collaboration with his twin brother Nicolas (1524-1598), of Institution du manage chrétien; and François (1543-1621), author of Glossarium ad libros capitularium (1588), Traité de l'excommunication et de l'interdit, etc. (1587).

 Pierre Pithou
Pierre studied the classics in Paris under Turnèbe, and afterwards with his brother, François Pithou, attended lectures in law at Bourges and Valence under Cujas, who often said: Pithœi fratres, clarissima lumina.
His brother François (1541-1621), who became a Catholic in 1578, wrote in 1587 a treatise on "The greatness of the rights, and of the preeminence of the kings and the kingdom of France", and was distinguished for his fanatical hostility to the Jesuits.
Pierre Pithou, more equitable, saved the Jesuits from some of the dangers that threatened them for a short time after the attempted assassination of Henry IV by Châtel.

Parliamentary Gallicanism, therefore, was of much wider scope than episcopal; indeed, it was often disavowed by the bishops of France, and about twenty of them condemned Pierre Pithou's book when a new edition of it was published, in 1638, by the brothers Dupuy.
We have to inquire, then, how there came to be formed in the bosom of the Church of France a body of doctrines and practices which tended to isolate it, and to impress upon it a physiognomy somewhat exceptional in the Catholic body.
At the beginning, its first advocates were Pierre d'Ailly and Gerson, whose somewhat daring theories, reflecting the then prevalent disorder of ideas, were to triumph in the Council of Constance.

Pierre Pithou (1539-96), a Gallican theologian, published the leading principles in his treatise Les libertés de l’Église gallicane (1594), a justification for the coronation of Henri IV that year at Chartres before he had received Papal absolution ratifying his conversion to Catholicism.
Pierre de Marca (1594-1662), archbishop of Toulouse from 1652 and Archbishop of Paris in 1662, a leading campaigner against the Jansenists, published a treatise in 1641 On the harmony of Priestly and Secular authority (De Concordia Sacerdotii et Imperii) which was placed on the Index of Prohibited Books by the Papacy the following year.
The second was the revised formulary, prepared by Pierre de Marca, archbishop of Toulouse before his death in 1662: this made specific mention of both the Papal bull Cum occasione and the bull of Alexander VII of 16 October 1656 (Ad Sacram).

 New Catholic Dictionary: Gallican Liberties   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
In 1594 a famous Parisian jurisconsult, Pierre Pithou, published a book entitled "The Liberties of the Gallican Church." It was directed both against the pope, whose authority was limited in favor of the bishops, and against the bishops who, in the discharge of their duties, were unduly subjected to the royal power.
These pretensions were embodied again in the book of the brothers, Pierre and Jacques Dupuy, "The Rights and Liberties of the Gallican Church, with their proofs" (1636).
Louis XIV constantly appealed to them in his dealings with the Holy See, as was shown especially by the affair of the Regale.

Thus far Gallicanism had remained an ecclesiastical affair, but in 1594 Pierre Pithou brought it into the secular political arena.
Pithou, a Parisian lawyer, wrote The Liberties of the Gallican Church that year.
The Gallican Liberties, as Pithou's proposals came to be called, infringed on the traditional rights of the papacy in favor of increased governmental power over the church.

The initiative was taken by Pierre Pithou (1539-96), of a distinguished family of French legists, a friend of the historian De Thou, who with him shared the glory of historical scholarship in the reign of Henry IV.

Pithou, however, was not alone in initiating the idea of collecting and editing documents.

 On the Government of God: A Treatise Wherein Are Shown by Argument and by Examples Drawn from the Abandoned Society of ...
The treatise Against Avarice was issued by Sichardus at Fol near Basle in 1528: two years later Brassicanus published in the same city his editio princeps of the books On the Government of God, based apparently on the extant Vienna manuscript of the fifteenth century (MS Vindobonensis 826).
The next period, from 1580 to 1663, was dominated by the editions of Pierre Pithou, the first of which, published at Paris in 1580, was so much in demand that it soon came, as Baluze said, to have almost the rarity of a manuscript.
Yet such is the infrequency of the present demand for editions of Salvian, that Pithou’s original edition could be had recently at a lower price than obscure editions with better bindings.

Its pioneer in France was Pierre de l'Estoile (Stella), the grandfather of the well-known diarist, who began to lecture at Orleans in 1512 ; but its real founder was the Italian, Andrea Alciati, who, coming to Bourges in 1528, definitely restored the Corpus Juris to the place which had been usurped by the Gloss.
Under the wise patronage of Margaret, Duchess of Berry, daughter of Francis I, and afterwards wife of Emmanuel Philibert, Duke of Savoy, Bourges became the first school of jurisprudence in Europe, and was illustrated by such names as Baron, Baudouin, Duaren, Doneau, Hotman, and, greatest of all, Cujas.
After the departure of Scaliger the most learned man in France was Pierre Pithou (1539-96), and Scaliger could say of him that he was nothing of a Greek scholar.

 Gallicanism Summary
There were eighty-three "Liberties of the Gallican Church", according to a collection drawn up by the jurisconsults Guy Coquille and Pierre Pithou.
It was lawful to appeal from him to a future council, or to have recourse to the "appeal as from an abuse" against acts of the ecclesiastical power.
For the more moderate among them, Gallican ideas and liberties were simply privileges — concessions made by the popes, who had been quite willing to divest themselves of a part of their authority in favour of the bishops or kings or France.
