François Guyet
François Guyet (* 1575 in Angers ; † April 12, 1655 in Paris ) was a French philologist.
Guyet, from a noble but poor family, came to Paris in 1599, was twice (the second time as tutor to the later Cardinal of Valletta , Louis de Nogaret de La Valette ) in Rome, then lived in seclusion, as a comrade of Jacques-Auguste de Thou , Pierre Dupuy and Gilles Ménage , a true scholarly life at the Collège de Bourgogne .
Guyet towers over most of his contemporary compatriots as a bold but also brilliant critic. All of his works appeared after his death; Thus the notes on Terence (ed. von Böcler, Strasbourg 1657), those on Hesiod in Graevius ' edition (Amsterdam 1667), those on Hesychios in the Leiden edition of 1668, those on Statius in the edition of Marolles, those on Lukian von Samosata in Le Clerc's 1687 edition and that on Lucanus in the Leiden edition of 1728.
