DOMAT, or DAUMAT, JEAN (1625-1696) , French jurisconsult, was born at Clermont in Auvergne, on the 3oth of November 1625. He was closely in sympathy with the Port-Royalists, was intimate with Pascal, and at the death of that celebrated philosopher was entrusted with his private papers. He is principally known from his elaborate legal digest, in three volumes 4to, under the title of Lois civiles clans leur ordre naturel (1689),an undertaking for which Louis XIV. settled on him a pension of 2000 livres. A fourth volume, Le
Droit
  public, was published in 1697, a year after his death. This is one of the most important works on the science of law that France has produced.
Domat
  endeay.;;:red to found all law upon ethical or religious principles, his motto being L'homme est fait par Dieu et pour Dieu. Besides the Lois Civiles,
Domat
  made in Latin a selection of the most common
laws
  in the collections of Justinian, under the title of Legum delectus (Paris, 1700;
Amsterdam
 , 1703); it was subsequently appended to the Lois civiles. His works have been translated into English. Domat died in Paris on the 14th of
March
  1696.

Journal
  des savants for 1843 are several papers on Domat by
Victor
 
Cousin
 , giving much information not otherwise accessible.
