John le, almoner to the king of France, and prior of Juville, was born at Montmorency, near Paris, in 1623. At the age of eighteen he distinguished himself by publishing a Collection of the Monuments of Illustrious Persons buried in the church of the Celestines at Paris, with their elegies, genealogies, arms, and mottoes, in 4to. He afterwards published an edition of the Memoirs of Michel de Castelnau, with several other genealogical histories. He had a brother, Louis le Labourer, bailiff of Montmorency, author of several pieces of poetry; and an uncle, Dome Claude le Labourer, provost of the abbey of L'Isle Barbe, of which he wrote a history, and published notes and corrections on the breviary of Lyons. Labourer died in 1675.
