Tanegui le, of Caen in Normandy, born in 1615, was an excellent scholar in Greek and Roman learning. Cardinal de Richelieu gave him a pension of 2000 livres to inspect all the works published at the Louvre, and deigned to have made him principal of a college he was about to erect at Richelieu. But the cardinal's death cut off his hopes; and Cardinal Mazarine having no great relish for learning, his pension was ill paid. Some time after the marquis de Françiere, governor of Langres, took him along with him to his government, and there he embraced the Protestant religion; after which he was invited to Saumur, where he was chosen Greek professor. He there taught with extraordinary reputation. Young men went to him from all the provinces in the kingdom, and even from foreign countries, while divines and professors themselves gloried in attending his lectures. He was preparing to go to Heidelberg, whither he was invited by the prince Palatine, when he died, aged 57. He wrote, 1. Notes on Anacreon, Lucretius, Longinus, Phaedrus, Jutin, Terence, Virgil, Horace, &c. 2. A short account of the lives of the Greek poets. 3. Two volumes of letters: and many other works.

Cloud le, an eminent French painter, was born at Fontainbleau in 1633, and studied in the palace there, and then at Paris under Le Sueur and Le Brun; the latter of whom advised him to adhere to portraits, for which he had a particular talent, and in his style equalled the best masters of that country. He died in England in 1675, aged 42.
