Jean Saulnier (* unknown, before 1608; † unknown) was a French translator and language teacher, doctor , cosmographer and writer of the 17th century.

Life

Little is known about Saulnier's personal career. What is certain is that he studied at the Université de Paris and completed his studies with a licentiate in the arts ( Licentié és Arts ). According to the titles of his books, he also appeared as Maistre és Arts . It is known that he gave language lessons in Spanish , Italian and German to French nobles and foreigners , and there are also references to this. He also dealt with cosmology . According to a book title, he was secretary to Henri II. De Bourbon, prince de Condé and also appeared as his doctor, but not after 1624. A book dedication shows that he was, at least for a time, probably in a certain way Dependent relationship with a Conseiller du Roy at the court of Louis XIII. was called Anthoine de Nicolay. Saulnier wrote on various subjects, including theology and medicine , but mostly textbooks on the Spanish and Italian languages ​​and grammar . He also wrote short stories , including erotic content.

Rediscovery

In particular, his Introduction en la langue espagnolle from 1608 was exposed to stiff competition from the Grammaire espagnolle by César Oudin , first published in 1597 and already edited several times. This contributed, among other factors, to the fact that Saulnier's works fell into complete oblivion. It was only through the new editions of the Introduction en la langue espagnolle and the Nouvelle grammaire italienne et espagnole from 1624 in 2012, as well as Seilheimer's dissertation on these two works, that today's readers and linguists were again aware of them .
