Jean de Gagny
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jean de Gagny[1] (died 1549) was a French theologian.
He was at the Collège de Navarre in 1524[2]. He became Rector of the University of Paris, in 1531, and Almoner Royal [3], in 1536.
He published some significant Roman Catholic commentaries on parts of the New Testament[4]. He was also a business partner of the typographer Claude Garamond[5], and collector of manuscripts, particularly of patristic works.[2]. His position close to Francois I of France gave him access to monastic libraries[6].
