Paquier

Japanese: パキエ

1529‐1615
French historian and lawyer. He studied law at universities in France and Italy, mainly from professors who favored the Protestant Reformation, and in 1549 became a lawyer at the Paris High Court, where he established his reputation for arguing in major legal cases. He also had a strong interest in history and literature from an early age, collecting materials, and forming friendships with poets and writers such as Ronsard, and experimenting with poetry and prose works himself. As a lawyer during the period of the Wars of Religion, he maintained a Catholic faith, but also took a broad view and preached religious freedom and called for peace and tolerance.

1529‐1615
フランスの歴史家，法律家。フランスやイタリアの大学でおもに宗教改革派寄りの教授から法学を学び，1549年パリ高等法院付き弁護士となり，大きな訴訟事件における弁論により名声を確立。その一方，早くから歴史や文学に強い関心を抱いて資料を収集，またロンサールらの詩人や作家と親交を結んで，自らも詩や散文作品を試みた。宗教戦争期の法曹人として自らはカトリック信仰のうちにとどまりながらも，広い視野に立って信仰の自由を説き平和と寛容を訴えた。
