Claude Quillet (1602–1661)

Quillet, Claude (kē-yā’), known also as Calvidius Lætus. A French physician and poet; born in Touraine in 1602; died in 1661. He went to Rome, and lived there until after the death of Richelieu. His chief work was ‘Callipædia,’ written in Latin and satirizing Mazarin; but on account of the latter’s kindness, the satire was changed to eulogy in a second edition.
