Sam. Bochartus of Roan in Normandy became a so¬ journer this year in the university, and was entred a stu¬ dent in the public library in the beginning of Lent term : with the help of which and other libraries, he laid the foun¬ dation of most rare books which he afterwards published.

He was pastor of the Protestant church at Caen in Normandy, where he died in 1667, being ever esteemed a great lover of the church of England.3 “ The great Historical, Geograph. “ and Poetical Dictionary, &c. Lond. 1694. vol. 1. gives this “ farther account of that learned person.—Sam. Bochart born “ at Roan in Normandy descended from the illustrious fa- mily of Bochart de Champigny, and of the branch of “ Menillet. He studied divinity, but his inclination leading “ him to other studies, besides he not only read all the “ Greek and Latin poets, and the holy fathers, but also learn’d “ most of the Oriental tongues, not only those of his com- “ munion, but of those also who regarded learning and <f probity. The Q. of Sweden engaged him in 1652 to “ make a journey to Stockholm, when she gave public marks of the esteem she had for his learning. At his [225] “ return into France 1653, he continued his ordinary exer- “ cises at Caen in Norm, of which he was a Protestant mi- “ nister, and was of the academy there, which then was “ composed of great men. He died suddenly while he was “ speaking in the said academy on Monday the 8th of May £f 1667, which gave Mr. Brieux occasion to make a fine C£ epitaph on him. He was rich and left his estate to an “ only daughter, avIio Avas married to a counsellor of the “ parliament of Roven. The considerable works which he ££ published during his life are these. Phaleg: or Sacred “ Geography, and the Hierozdicon or De Animalibus Scrip- “ turns.—He writ also A Treatise of Minerals, Plants, and “ precious Stones, whereof the Bible makes mention. Another “ Of the Terrestrial Paradise, Commentaries upon Genesis, A “ Col. of Dissertations. It were to be wished that those Avho “ have those fragments should publish them.” An. Dom. 1623.—21 Jac.
