Davy, frère. See Brossard, David.

Davy, Nicolas

Cat. Bib. Nat. Paris, 36:414, enters under
him "Quatre traictez utiles et delectables de
1'agriculture" (1560), but evidently only as an
attribution, not as actual author. It is probable
that the use of this name came about through an
attempt to amplify the "Fr. Davy" or "Fr. Dany"
applied to David Brossard, or may have been a hybrid 
between it and Nicolas Du Mesnil, author of
another of the "Quatre traictez". There was an
actual Nicolas Davy, &quot;Abbè du Grand Sainct-Cres-
pin" (See Cat. Bib. Nat.) whose name might have
been borrowed to dignify the work of the modest
"Frère Davy". (MFW)
