MORRERI (Lewis), author of the Historical Dictionary, was born at Bargemont in Provence 1643. He learned rhetoric and philosophy at Aix, and divinity at Lyons. At 18 years of age he wrote a small piece, intitled Le Pays d'Amour; and a collection of the finest French poems, intitled Doux plaisirs de la Poésie. He learned Spanish and Italian; and translated out of Spanish into French, the book intitled La Perfection Chrétienne de Rodriguez. He then refined the Saints Lives to the purity of the French tongue. Being ordained priest, he preached at Lyons; and undertook, when he was but 30 years of age, a new Historical Dictionary, printed at Lyons in one vol. folio, 1673. But his continual labour impaired his health; so that he died in 1680, aged 37. His second volume was published after his death; and four more volumes have since been added. He left some other works behind him.
