Jacques Daléchamps

Jacques Daléchamps (1513, Caen – 1588) was a French botanist and physician. When the scholar Isaac Casaubon first established the Greek text of the recently rediscovered Deipnosophistae, it was printed alongside a Latin translation by Daléchamps.

He was the pupil of Guillaume Rondelet and became physician of the Hôtel-Dieu de Lyon.

In 1552, he published Raymond Chalin de Vinario's “treatise on the plague”.
