Jean-Jacques Boissard ( 1528 - October 30 , 1602 ), was a French antiquary and Latin Poet . He was born at Besançon and educated at Leuven ; but disgusted by the severity of his master, he secretly left the seminary there, and travelled through Germany to Italy , where he remained several years and was often reduced to poverty.

He then visited the islands of Greece , but a severe illness obliged him to return to Rome.

His most important works are:
