Pierre Danet
Pierre Danet (1650 in Paris – 1709) was a French cleric, Latinist, Hellenist, Romanist and lexicographer.
In 1668, Danet was appointed in the editorial team of expenditure ad usum Delphini by Charles de Sainte-Maure, Duke of Montausier (1610-1690), the tutor of Louis, Grand Dauphin
In 1673, he became Magister Petrus Daneticus academicus, and from 1677 Petrus Danetius Academicus, abbas Sancti Nicolai Virdunensis (abbot of Saint-Nicolas in Verdun).
In the 18th century, Pierre Danet's dictionary experienced numerous editions and adaptations and served as the basis for multiple dictionaries with European languages.
