Jacques Pinon, who died in 1641 and was Dean of the Counselors of the Parliament of Paris, was a neo-Latin poet, who should not be confused with his son, of the same name and Abbot of Condé, who was himself a poet. The author was closely associated with Nicolas de Bourbon, distinguished poet and his contemporary. The work includes the poem De anno romano, the commentary that follows is very instructive and filled with erudition; the varia poemata occupy another third of the book.
