Chronological record

The dataset places the life between AD 1622 and AD 1673. These indexed dates are identity and chronology fields, not a substitute for a critical biography.

Geographic anchors

Birth: Paris (AD 1622). Death: Paris (AD 1673).

Country keys are dataset keys and must not be mistaken for the historical boundaries that existed during the person’s lifetime.

Historical role

The source assigns the broad occupation class WRITER. It does not by itself establish doctrine, sanctity, political legitimacy, responsibility for every event associated with the person, or the exact scope of an office.

Source and identity method

Source: PANTHEON_2_2020. Identity method: pantheon_wikidata_qid. Language-edition measure: 11.063041152890829.
