In 1692, Jean Boivin became garde of the king's library, where he made an important discovery of an ancient 4th or 5th century biblical text in uncial script later that same year, included in a manuscript of the homilies of saint Ephrem the Syrian. He acquired a scholarly reputation by publishing in Latin texts by the major mathematicians of antiquity and he was made a professor at the Collège royal, where he held the ancient Greek chair from 1706 to 1726. He translated Nicephorus Gregoras and Pierre Pithou, as well as Aristophanes, Homer and Sophocles, and wrote his own Greek poetry. He was elected a member of the Académie royale des inscriptions et belles-lettres in 1705, and of the Académie Française in 1721. (en)

  • Jean Boivin (Montreuil-l'Argillé, 1º settembre 1663 – Parigi, 29 ottobre 1726) è stato uno scrittore francese. Fratello cadetto di Louis Boivin che, dopo la morte del padre nel 1672 «lo fece venire a Parigi l'anno dopo e non volle dividere con nessuno la cura di istruirlo. Il suo metodo d'insegnamento fu bizzarro ma fecondo. Chiudeva il suo discepolo in un tugurio, con un Omero, un dizionario e una grammatica, non lo faceva uscire finché il bambino non era in grado di spiegare in francese e in latino un numero convenuto di versi». Nel 1692 Jean Boivin devenne bibliotecario del re e fece quello stesso anno un'importante scoperta, un antico testo biblico del V secolo in scrittura onciale, che ricopriva un manoscritto delle Omelie di Efrem. Acquistatasi una fama di erudito pubblicando in latino i testi dei grandi matematici dell'antichità, fu nominato professore di greco al Collegio reale nel 1701. Tradusse Niceforo Gregora e Pierre Pithou, come pure Aristofane, Omero e Sofocle, scrivendo egli stesso poesie greche. Fu eletto membro dell'Académie royale des inscriptions et belles-lettres nel 1705 e dell'Académie française nel 1721. (it)
