Bernaud Nicholas

Bernaud  Nicholas was a French Physician, of the province of Dauphiny. His name is twice mentioned by Faust Socin in a letter addressed to John Balcerovicius, and dated Nov. 21st, 1587 ; but is incorrectly printed "Bernardus," instead of Bernaudus. This error of the press has led Bock to call him "Bernardus." (Bibl. Fratr. Pol. T. I. p. 426. Bock, Hist. Ant. T. I. p. 45.) Faust mentions him again in a letter to Valentine Radecius, with whose father, Matthew Radecius, he was connected by marriage. (Bibl. Fratr. Pol. ubi sup., and p. 492.) In this letter, written in 1603, Faust enclosed one, which he had received from Bernaud, containing a prescription for Christopher Ostorod. Dr. Bernaud translated into French F. Socin's treatise, "De Auctoritate S. Scripturae;" and Faust dedicated to him the Defence of his Disputation concerning the 7th Chapter of the Epistle to the Romans. In this Dedication he applies to him the epithets, "Medicum ac Philosophum eximium."
