Jean Belmain (original) (raw)
Jean Belmain, also known as John Belmain or John Belleman (died after 1557) was a French Huguenot scholar who served as a French-language teacher to future English monarchs King Edward VI and Queen Elizabeth I at the court of their father, Henry VIII. A zealous Calvinist, Jean Belmain was a refugee from the persecution of Protestants in France. Large and austere, he was well rewarded for his services, and may well have had a major role in forming Edward's Protestant views.

| dbo:abstract | Jean Belmain, also known as John Belmain or John Belleman (died after 1557) was a French Huguenot scholar who served as a French-language teacher to future English monarchs King Edward VI and Queen Elizabeth I at the court of their father, Henry VIII. A zealous Calvinist, Jean Belmain was a refugee from the persecution of Protestants in France. Large and austere, he was well rewarded for his services, and may well have had a major role in forming Edward's Protestant views. Belmain began his teaching duties in 1546 and also completed a French-language translation of the prose devotion Lamentacions of a Sinner written by Henry's last queen Catherine Parr, in which his most noticeable adaptation was to add exclamations. The British Museum contains a manuscript translation into French of the second Prayer-book of Edward VI, written by Belmain, with a dedicatory epistle to his former pupil. This preface is dated 18 April 1553 from the royal palace of Sheen. In the same collection of manuscripts there is also to be found a translation of Basil the Great's letter to St. Gregory on the solitary life. This work Belmain, in a somewhat curious preface, dedicates to the Lady Elizabeth, with the assurance that it is rendered from the original Greek. This introductory letter contains a rather sharp attack on the phonetic principle of French orthography then coming into vogue, though its author seems perfectly willing to adopt a well-considered reformed method of spelling; and indeed he pronounces his intention of writing a treatise on the subject. There does not seem to be any means of ascertaining the date of this translation, but it is probably earlier than the French version of the Prayer-book. Jean Belmain was armigerous. On 20 November 1552 he was granted arms by Sir Gilbert Dethick as: Azure a chevron Argent engrailed ermine between three bezants Or on each bezant a demi lion rampant Gules. Crest: A griffin's head Or between two wings Azure bezanty. (en) Jean Belmain (mort en 1557) est un intellectuel protestant, théologien et professeur de langue française des enfants du roi Henri VIII d'Angleterre, Édouard VI d'Angleterre et Élisabeth Ire d'Angleterre. Jean Belmain était un calviniste convaincu. Il quitta la France comme des milliers de huguenots fuyant les persécutions religieuses et trouva refuge en Angleterre. En 1546, Jean Belmain devint le professeur de langue attitré des enfants du roi Henri VIII. Il enseigna le français, l'espagnol et l'italien au futur roi Édouard VI et à la future reine Élisabeth Ire. Il exerçait son activité pédagogique à la Cour royale au côté de leur tuteur Roger Ascham. Jean Belmain, en tant que théologien, pourrait bien avoir joué un rôle influent dans la formation protestante d'Édouard VI. Jean Belmain a réalisé une traduction en langue française de la dévotion en prose des "Lamentacions d'un pécheur" écrit par Henri VIII pour sa dernière épouse la reine Catherine Parr. (fr) |
