Barthelemy Aneau

Barthelemy Aneau or Anneau (in Latin Annulus ) was a French poet of the 16th century.

Born with Bourges, he was professor of Rhétorique, then principal with the Collège of the Trinity, with Lyon in 1542.

He also cultivated Latin poetry and French poetry. One has of him:

a French verse translation of the Emblems of Alciat (Lyon, 1549),
a Latin poem Picta poesis (1552), which it translated itself into French worms, under the poetic title of Imagination ,
Alector or the Cock , fabulous history (in French prose), alleged translated from the Greek (Lyon, 1560).

He was massacred by the people in his college in 1565, the day of the Corpus Christi, because one suspected it of being Protestant and that one showed it to have thrown a stone on the priest who carried the the Blessed Sacrament to the procession.
