Adrien Baillet (1649-1706) was a French scholar and critic. Baillet received a thorough education at the theological seminary, and was afterwards appointed to a post as teacher in the college of Beauvais. In 1676 he was ordained priest and was presented to a small vicarage. Later he became librarian to the Duc de Lamoignon, and devoted the fullest possible time to study by taking only one meal a day and five hours of rest. - Rare. De Buck, 2596-97.€ 140
