La Vie de Michel de Marillac, written by his devoted friend Nicolas Lefèvre de
Lezeau, is here presented for the first time in its integrity. Important homme
d'état, Michel de Marillac (1560-1632) served the French Crown as councillor
in the Parlement de Paris, maître des requêtes under Henry IV, and conseiller
du roi under Louis XIII. Become a conseiller d'état, he was named Surintendant
des finances (from August 1624 to June 1626), then Garde des Sceaux until his
disgrace in mid-November 1630, after the famous Day of Dupes. By his
intelligence, energy, experience and probity, he was one of the most
significant figures in the reign of Louis XIII. Marillac was the principal
author of the Ordonnance de 1629, the largest ever codification of French law,
which was known familiarly by his name: the “Code Michau”. Chief of the dévot
party, he was among the most influential lay persons active in the
establishment in France of the Reformed Carmelites (1602-1604), the Ursulines
(1610) and the Oratorians (1611). He achieved one of the best translations of
Thomas à Kempis's Imitation of Christ and a translation of the Psalms, and was
the author of several other scholarly works
