Jean Yeuwain
Jean Yeuwain is a man of letters originating in the Spanish Netherlands, born with Mons towards 1566 and died towards 1626.
It belonged to the Mons middle-class and probably studied with the College of Houdain, founded in 1545 and whose buildings are integrated today into those of the polytechnic Faculty of Mons.
Into 1591, it translates Hippolyte, turned tragedy of Sénèque . The text which it uses is undoubtedly that of the famous Jesuit Antoine Delrio (1576). The translator takes small freedoms with the Latin text. Yeuwain had written other tragedies, lost. It is his/her brother, the poet André Yeuwain, who preserved the manuscript, now consultable at the Public library of Mons.
