Jean Liebault


Jean Liébault was a doctor and agronomist, born in Dijon.
He married Nicole Estienne, who published several writings about marriage, in which she condemned domestic violence and a large age difference between spouses. His father-in-law was Charles Estienne, author of the Praedieum rusticum. Liébault substantially altered and extended Estienne's book, resulting in a French text La Maison Rustique. He translated or authored the medical textbook Trois Livres appartenans aux infirmitez et maladies des femmes.
