  • Jean Boivin the Younger or Jean Boivin de Villeneuve (1 September 1663 in Montreuil-l'Argillé – 29 October 1726 in Paris) was a French writer, scholar and translator. Jean was the younger brother of Louis Boivin. After their father died in 1762, Louis made [Jean] came to Paris the following year, and would not share with anyone the care of raising and teaching [Jean]". His teaching method was bizarre but fruitful – he locked his student up in a galetas with a copy of Homer, a dictionary and a grammar and would not let him out until he could explain an agreed number of verses from it in French and Latin. In 1692, Jean Boivin became garde of the king's library, where he made an important discovery of an ancient 4th or 5th century biblical text in uncial script later that same year, included in a manuscript of the homilies of saint Ephrem the Syrian. He acquired a scholarly reputation by publishing in Latin texts by the major mathematicians of antiquity and he was made a professor at the Collège royal, where he held the ancient Greek chair from 1706 to 1726. He translated Nicephorus Gregoras and Pierre Pithou, as well as Aristophanes, Homer and Sophocles, and wrote his own Greek poetry. He was elected a member of the Académie royale des inscriptions et belles-lettres in 1705, and of the Académie Française in 1721. (en)

Nel 1692 Jean Boivin devenne bibliotecario del re e fece quello stesso anno un'importante scoperta, un antico testo biblico del V secolo in scrittura onciale, che ricopriva un manoscritto delle Omelie di Efrem. Acquistatasi una fama di erudito pubblicando in latino i testi dei grandi matematici dell'antichità, fu nominato professore di greco al Collegio reale nel 1701. Tradusse Niceforo Gregora e Pierre Pithou, come pure Aristofane, Omero e Sofocle, scrivendo egli stesso poesie greche. Fu eletto membro dell'Académie royale des inscriptions et belles-lettres nel 1705 e dell'Académie française nel 1721. (it)
