John Baptist (1627–1686), fellow of the Sorbonne, and regius professor of Greek, was born at Nismez. He collected the works of the apostolic fathers, and published them at Paris with a Latin translation and notes. He also published a work entitled *Monumenta Ecclesiae Graecae*, in three vols., being a collection of Greek tracts from the king's and M. Colbert's libraries, which had never before been published; and to these he added a Latin translation and notes.

COTERELLUS and Cotarius, terms used, according to Spelman and Du Fresne, to designate servile tenants; but in Doomsday-book and other ancient manuscripts they seem to be distinguished as well in tenure and quality as in name; for the cotarius had a free socage tenure, and paid a stated firm or rent in provisions or money, with some occasional customary services; whereas the cotellus seems to have held in mere villeinage, and his person, issue, and goods, were disposable at the pleasure of the lord.
