Its life

Jean de Montlyard, sior of Melleray in Beauce, refugee with Geneva, was placed as minister with Draillans, on August 12th 1554 (Archi. comp. of the pastors, reg. B), then, in 1557, with Céligny, and received middle-class gratis with its two sons, in 1559. These facts, of an undeniable authenticity, prove that Prosper Marchand was wrong to doubt that Jean de Montlyard was minister; however its observation, that it is difficult to be convinced that Pasteur undertook to translate for a book like the gold Ass of Apulée , does not remain about it less, if one thinks especially of the advanced age that Montlyard was to have reached when this translation was born. Perhaps one would overcome the difficulty by admitting that the translator of this work was one of his two sons, that which took the title of advising secretary of the Prince de Condé. If it is necessary to believe Hoffman of it, in its historical Lexique , Montlyard fulfills also the pastoral functions with Montélimar. One is unaware of the year of his death.
