— Portrait of Jacques Amiot

Engraving of Jacques Amiot. Jacques Amiot (30 October 1513 - 6 February 1593) was a French Renaissance bishop, scholar, writer and translator. Amyot found his way to the University of Paris, where he supported himself by serving some of the richer students. He was nineteen when he became M.A. at Paris, and later he graduated doctor of civil law at Bourges. Through Jacques Colure (or Colin), abbot of St. Ambrose in Bourges, he obtained a tutorship in the family of a secretary of state. By the secretary he was recommended to Margaret of France, Duchess of Berry, and through her influence was made professor of Greek and Latin at Bourges. Here he translated the Æthiopica of Heliodorus (1547), for which he was rewarded by Francis I with the abbey of Bellozane. Engraving by Daumont in Paris.
