Dominique Ricard


Abbot Dominique Ricard was an 18th-century French translator.
Born in Toulouse, he was teacher of rhetorics at the college of Auxerre, then special tutor to Jérôme-Pélagie Masson de Meslay's son, called président de Meslay.
We owe him a translation of the Works by Plutarch: the Moralia were published from 1783 to 1795, and the Vies des Hommes illustres from 1798 to 1803.
Dominique Ricard was a member of the Société des observateurs de l'homme.
