life and work

Gaudin entered the Jesuit order in 1633 and became prefect and Latin teacher at the Jesuit college in Limoges (today Lycée Gay-Lussac). From 1664 he published several French-Latin and Latin-French dictionaries (some with Greek too), which were printed until 1732 and which also served as such until the appearance of the first monolingual French dictionaries (1680, 1690, 1694).
