Jacques Vanière was a Jesuit priest and poet born March 9, 1664 in Causses within the diocese of Béziers.[1] He studied under a Jesuit priest, Father Joubert, who found that young Vanière had little talent for poetry.[2] Yet Vanière developed into a strong writer under Joubert's tutelage infusing his poetry with a deep admiration and respect for the countryside which he inherited from his parents.[3] Vanière entered the Jesuits to continue his study of the humanities and to teach students of his own. He died in Toulouse on August 22, 1739.[4]
Vanière gained prominence in France when he published two poems: Stagna and Columbae.[5] He also produced a volume of verses in Latin titled Recueil de vers latins and Dictionaire poetique, a dictionary for poetry. However, Praedium Rusticum is considered his greatest poetic work. It is comprised of 16 chants in the style of Virgil's Georgics.[6]
Evidence for Inclusion in Wythe's Library
Thomas Jefferson listed "Praedium Rusticum" in his inventory of Wythe's Library in the section of titles he kept for himself. He later sold a copy to the Library of Congress. Both Brown's Bibliography[7] and George Wythe's Library[8] on LibraryThing include the 1742 edition published in Toulouse based on the copy Jefferson sold as described in Millicent Sowerby's Catalogue of the Library of Thomas Jefferson.[9] Unfortunately, this volume does not survive to verify the edition or Wythe's prior ownership. The Wolf Law Library has not yet found a copy of this title.
