BOCHART, SAMUEL (1599-1667) , French scholar, was born at Rouen on the 3oth of May 1599. He was for many years a pastor of a
Protestant
 
church
  at Caen, and became tutor to Wentworth Dillon,
earl
  of
Roscommon
 . In 1646 he published his Phaleg and Chanaan (Caen, 1646 and 1651), the two parts of his Geographia Sacra. His Hierozoicon, which treats of the animals of Scripture, was printed in London (2 vols., 1663). In 1652 Christina of Sweden invited him to Stockholm, where he studied the Arabian manuscripts in the queen's possession. He was accompanied by Pierre Daniel Huet, afterwards
bishop
  of Avranches. On his. return to Caen he was received into the
academy
  of that city.
Bochart
  was a man of profound erudition; he possessed a thorough knowledge of the
principal
  Oriental languages, including Hebrew, Syriac, Chaldaic and Arabic; and at an advanced age he wished to learn Ethiopic. He was so absorbed in his favourite study, that he saw Phoenician and nothing but Phoenician in everything, even in Celtic words, and hence the number of chimerical etymologies which swarm in his works. He died at Caen on the 16th of May 1667.
A complete edition of his works was published at Leiden, under the title of Sam.
Bochart
  Opera Omnia (1675, 2 vols. folio; 4th ed., 3 vols., 1712). An Essay on the Life and Writings of Samuel Bochart, by W. R.
Whittingham
 , appeared in 1829.
