life and work
After attending the Collège du Cardinal Lemoine , Connan studied the Mos italicus at the University of Orléans under Petrus Sella . 1529 he moved to the University of Bourges to at Andreas Alciatus also gallicus Mos study. Connan probably obtained his licentiate in Bourges . He then worked in Paris as a parliamentary attorney and expert. On September 7, 1539, he was appointed Maître clerc de Compte by King Francis I , making him a member of the Grand Conseil du Roi . Connan was thus one of the highest judges in France. On April 29, 1544 he was appointed Maître des requêtes de l'Hôtel . On behalf of the king he had to supervise the administration and judiciary in the provinces.
There was little time left for Connan's scientific work in addition to his legal and administrative work. His most important work, Commentaria iuris civilis , a commentary on Roman law that he began in 1540, remained unfinished because he died at the age of 43.
