Méric Casaubon

Méric Casaubon (1599-1671) was a French-English scholar and philologist. He was the son of French Hugonot scholar Isaac Casaubon, who in 1602 had collected the Enoch Fragments of Syncellus from a ms. located in the library of Catherine de Medici in Paris and sent a copy of them to his friend Joseph Justus Scaliger for publication in 1606. Méric Casaubon also got involved in Enochic Studies; in 1659 he published a detailed report on John Dee's "discovery" of the Enochian Alphabet.
