life and work
In 1623 Bardin wrote a treatise on the office of Grand Chamberlain of France , which he dedicated to the then Grand Chamberlain Claude de Lorraine, duc de Chevreuse . In 1629 he published an extensive philosophical discussion of the book of Kohelet from the Old Testament (the first chapter was published in advance in 1626). This work has also been translated into German. His main work are two unfinished volumes (totaling 1500 pages) on the classic ideal of the Honnête Homme under the title Le Lycée .
Bardin belonged from March 1634 to the first season of the Académie française (seat no. 29). He drowned in the Seine in 1635 when he tried to pull his seven-year-old protégé and pupil, the future Duke of Humières , out of the water.
