CASAUBON, ISAAC, was born at Geneva in 1559; and Henry IV. appointed him his library keeper in 1603. After this prince's death, he went to England with Sir Henry Wotton, ambassador from King James I. where he was kindly received, and engaged in writing against Baronius's annals. He died not long after this, in 1614; and was interred in Westminster-abbey, where a monument was erected to him. He was greatly skilled in the Greek, and in criticism; published several valuable commentaries; and received the highest eulogiums from all his contemporaries.
