^ CaBanbon, Isaacs one of the ikiost learned men of lus own or of any age, was bom Feb. 18th, {559, at Geneva, whither his family, originally of Dauphin^, fled to avoid the persecutions to which the French Pro- testants were ezpoeed. His father, Amaold Casanbon, a minister of the Beformed Church, returned into France, and devoted himself to the education of his son, who, at nine years of age, spoke Latin. In 1578 be went to I^wisanne, and studied law, theology, and the Greek and Oriental languages. He soon became professor of Greek at Geneva, and married the daugh- ter of Heniy Stephens, the celebrated printer, and soon began to put forth translations of the Greek and Latin writers, with notes and conmientaries. In 1596 he ac- cepted the Greek professorship at Montpellier, but held it only until 1599, when he was called to Paris by Heniy IV, and received the appointment of librarian to the king. Henry appointed him one of the Protes- tant judges in the controversy between Du Perron, Uahop of Evreux, and Du Plessis Momay, at Fontaine- bleaa (1600). The Roman Catholics made many at- tempts to ^dn 80 distinguished a convert ; but there does not seem to be any reason ibr concluding that they had even partial success, although it was given oat that he had wavered in a conference with Du Per- loa. On the deaUi of Henry IV, 1610, Casaubon went to England with Sir Henry Wotton. James I received hhn with distinction, and presented him, though a lay- man, to a prebend at Canterbury, and (it is said) to another in the church of St. Peter, at Westminster. He died July 1, 1614, and was buried in Westminster Abbey. Besides his classical works he published Ex' ercitatioHei contra Banmium (London, 1614, fol., Frank- fort, 1615, and Geneva, 1663, 4to) ; Notmm Teetamentum (Win» (Geneva, 1587, 16mo, with notes ; reprinted in the Critid Saai); De Sbertate EccUnatHcd (1607, 8vo), midertaken by order of Henry lY on occasion of ths difference between the republic of Venice and Pope IW y, with the aim to maintain the rights of the tem- poral power against the court of Bome. It was stopped b7 the king's order, when the difference in question was settled. He also wrote Ad FrcnUmem Duoceum Epstola (Lond. 1611, 4to) against the Jesuitical doc- trine of authority. The best edition of his Letters is that of Botterdam (1709, fol). There is a full account of his life and writings m Haag, La France ProtegUmUe, iii, 230.— ^tcy.

In 1599 he accepted a profess- orship in the University of Hehnstadt, where he op- posed, in union with the Melancthonians, the efibrts of ultra Lutheran orthodoxy, principally represented by his colleague, Daniel Hoffknann (q. v.), to proscribe science and philosophy. He was the teacher of George Calixtus (q. v.), and wrote a great number of works, most of which remain unpublished. He died in 1618. See J.
