Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: COM-COR
CONRART (or CONRARD), VALENTIN (1603-1675) , one of the founders of the French
Academy
 , was born in Paris of Calvinist parents. He was educated for a commercial
life
 ; but after his father's death in 162o he began to come into contact with men of letters, and soon acquired a literary reputation, though he wrote nothing for many years. He was made councillor and secretary to the king; and in 1629 his
house
  became the resort of men of letters, who met to talk over literary subjects, and to read and mutually criticize their works.
Cardinal
 
Richelieu
  offered the society his
protection
 , and in this way (1635) the French
Academy
  was created. Its first meetings were held in the
house
  of Conrart, who was unanimously elected secretary, and discharged the duties of his post for
forty
 -three years, till his death on the 23rd of September 1675. The most important of Conrart's works is his Memoires sur l'histoire de son temps published by L. J. N. de Monmerque in 1825.
