Pierre Danet

Pierre Danet (1650 in Paris – 1709) was a French cleric, Latinist, Hellenist, Romanist and lexicographer.

In 1668, Danet was appointed in the editorial team of expenditure ''ad usum Delphini'' by Charles de Sainte-Maure, Duke of Montausier (1610-1690), the tutor of Louis, Grand Dauphin

In 1673, he became ''Magister Petrus Daneticus academicus'', and from 1677 ''Petrus Danetius Academicus, abbas Sancti Nicolai Virdunensis'' (abbot of Saint-Nicolas in Verdun).

In the 18th century, Pierre Danet's dictionary experienced numerous editions and adaptations and served as the basis for multiple dictionaries with European languages. Provided by Wikipedia
