Pierre, one of the most elegant writers of his time, was born at Toulouse in 1499, and died at Turin in 1546. He left behind him some Latin epistles, Epistolae Ciceroniana Stylo Scriptae, remarkable for the elegance and purity with which they are written. "Bunel," says Bayle, "was an honest man, the very person whom Diogenes wanted. His letters are written with the greatest purity, and contain curious facts." They were first published by Charles Stevens in 1551, and afterwards by Henry Stevens in 1581, a scarce edition. Another, but less correct edition, appeared at Toulouse in 1687, by J. Graverol.
