Gilbert Burnet (1643-1715), Scottish Theologian and Historian, was fluent in Dutch, French, Latin, Greek, and Hebrew. He was respected as a Cleric, a Preacher, and an Academic, as well as a Writer and Historian and was associated with the Whig party. On Easter 1689 Burnet was consecrated Bishop of Salisbury and three days later was sworn as chancellor of the Order of the Garter. He was present at King William’s death bed. He was out of royal favour in the reign of Queen Anne. Burnet began his ‘History of My Own Time’ in 1683, covering the English Civil War and the Commonwealth of England to the Treaty of Utrecht of 1713. He wrote ‘The Life of William Bedell’ in 1685. This French edition was translated from the English by Louis Dumesnil.
