Michel Maittaire (Also Michael; 1668 -1747) Was A French-Born Classical Scholar And Bibliographer In England, And A Tutor To Lord Philip Stanhope.

He Was Born In France Of Huguenot Parents, Who Around The Time Of The Revocation Of The Edict Of Nantes Moved To England. He Obtained A King's Scholarship At Westminster School In 1682. Richard Busby, Then Head-Master, Made Him Concentrate On The Study Of Greek And Latin. On Leaving School He Went To The Hague, Where He Was Received By The Vaillants, And Then To Paris. On Returning To England He Gained The Goodwill Of Robert South, At The Time A Canon Of Christ Church, Oxford; It Is Said That He Compiled A List Of The Greek Words That Were Wrongly Accented In The Works Of William Sherlock. South Made Him 'Canoneer' Student Of Christ Church, And He Took The Degree Of M.A. On 23 March 1696, Being Incorporated M.A. At Cambridge In 1708. In 1695 He Was Appointed Second Master Of Westminster, But Resigned In 1699 And Kept A Private School, One Of The Pupils At Which Was Stephen Martin Leake. Maittaire Began To Publish About 1706. His Major Works Are His Annales Typographici And Other Writings On The History Of Printing, And Of Editions Of The Classics, Especially The Series Of Latin Classics Printed In Duodecimo By Jacob Tonson And Watts Of London From 1713 To 1719. Pope Had Made Maittaire In The Manuscript Of The Dunciad An Inhabitant Of The "Kingdom Of Dullness", But The Lines Were Not Printed, After A Request Made For Their Suppression By Edward Harley, 2Nd Earl Of Oxford, A Patron Of Maittaire. Late In Life He Was Latin Tutor To Stanhope, Lord Chesterfield's Son. In 1728 He Was Living In A House In Orange Street, Near Holborn, London. Maittaire Died On 7 September 1747, Aged 79.
