Commentary


Antoine Godeau est né à Dreux le 24 septembre 1605 et décédé le 21 avril 1672. Poète, il est remarqué et fréquente l’hôtel de Rambouillet, où sa petite taille et son assiduité auprès de Julie d'Angennes (fille de la marquise de Rambouillet) le firent surnommer «le Nain de Julie». Il écrivit des préfaces, des ouvrages religieux, des oraisons funèbres (celle de Louis XIII), la Vie de saint Augustin, l’Histoire ecclésiastique des quatre premiers siècles, des poésies chrétiennes. Il fut aussi évêque de Grasse (1636) et est évêque de Vence dès 1639. Il devint un des premiers membres de l'Académie française, dès la fondation de celle-ci en 1634 ; l'année suivante, il fut, après la mort de Pierre Bardin, le premier académicien à prononcer l'éloge funèbre d'un confrère décédé. Il est remplacé par Esprit Fléchier (voyez JETONS XVI n° 195).
Feuardent ne connait ce jeton qu'en argent.
Antoine Godeau was born in Dreux on September 24, 1605 and died on April 21, 1672. A poet, he was noted and frequented the Hôtel de Rambouillet, where his small size and his assiduity with Julie d'Angennes (daughter of the Marquise de Rambouillet) earned him the nickname \\\"Julie's Dwarf.\\\" He wrote prefaces, religious works, funeral orations (that of Louis XIII), the Life of Saint Augustine, the Ecclesiastical History of the First Four Centuries, and Christian poetry. He was also Bishop of Grasse (1636) and Bishop of Vence from 1639. He became one of the first members of the Académie Française, upon its foundation in 1634; the following year, after the death of Pierre Bardin, he was the first academician to deliver a funeral eulogy for a deceased colleague. It is replaced by Esprit Fléchier (see TOKENS XVI n° 195). Feuardent only knows this token in silver

Historical background

Jean Dassier is a Swiss medalist born in Geneva in 1676, son of an engraver of the Geneva Mint. He also studied in Paris with Mauger and Röettiers. Back in Geneva, he was engraver and then chief engraver after the death of his father until 1763. He was the author of several series on the great figures of the reform, Geneva theologians, kings and queens of England, Roman history, the history of Geneva, illustrious men, the kings of France and great French figures. The series on famous men includes 67 medals designed by D'Arlau, the list of which appears in the Mercure de France of April 1723, p. 300 and in a work printed in 1723 in Paris.
