Biography

Honoré Bouche was born in Aix-en-Provence on 27 May 1599. He was the son of Balthazard Bouche and Louise Meyronnet. His older brother, born 21 December 1591 and named Balthazard after their father, was twice consul of Aix-en-Provence in 1635 and 1647. Honoré Bouche is known for having written a history of Provence entitled Chorographie ou description de la Provence et Histoire chronologique du même pays in two folio volumes to which he added additions and corrections.[1][2] He gave his manuscript free of charge to the province, which had it printed at its expense.[3]

He is also known to have written as "Doctor of Holy Theology and Provost of Saint James", in 1646, The Holy Virgin of Laurete, or History of the various transports of the House of the Glorious Virgin Mary who was in Nazareth for the Anne of Austria. He wrote other lesser-known works, notably on the arrival of Saint Mary Magdalene and Saint Lazarus in Provence. Honoré Bouche delivered the funeral oration of Nicolas-Claude Fabri de Peiresc in Rome in front of the Pope, the cardinals and a crowd of scholars.[4]

He died in Aix-en-Provence on 16 March 1671
