from Bonnivard, wire of Louis de Bonnivard, originating in Seyssel and Seigneur of the Moons, was born in 1496. II made its studies in Turin: in 1510 Jean Aime de Bonnivard, his uncle, the Priory of St Victor resigned to him, which aboutissoit with the walls of Geneva, and which formoit a considerable benefit.
\' This great man -- (Bonnivard deserves this title by the force of its heart, the uprightness of its heart, the nobility of its intentions, the wisdom of its councils, the courage of its steps, l\' extended from its knowledge, and the promptness of its spirit), -- this great man, who will excite l\' admiration of all those qu\' a heroic virtue can still move, will still inspire the sharpest recognition in the hearts of Génévois which like Geneva. Bonnivard was always one of the firmest supports: to ensure the freedom of our Republic, it did not fear to often lose his; it forgot its rest; it scorned its richnesses; it did not neglect anything to strengthen happiness d\' a fatherland qu\' it honoured with its choice: dice this moment it cherishes it like more zélé of its citizens; it served it with l\' intrepidity d\' a hero, and it wrote to its History with naîveté the d\' a philosopher and heat d\' a patriot.
' It says in the beginning of its History of Geneva, that, dice qu\' it had started to read l\' history of the nations, it felt entrâiné by its taste for the Republics, of which it always married the interests: c\' is this taste for the freedom which undoubtedly made him adopt Geneva for its fatherland.
\' Bonnivard, still young, s\' announced highly like the defender of Geneva against the Duke of Savoye and l\' Evêque. \' In 1519, Bonnivard becomes the martyr of its fatherland. The Duke of Savoye having entered Geneva with five hundred men, Bonnivard fears the resentment of the Duke; he wanted to withdraw himself in Freiburg to avoid the continuations of them; but it was betrayed by two men who l\' accompagnoient, and was led by order of the Prince to Grolée, where there remained prisoner during two years. Bonnivard unhappy etoit in its voyages: as its misfortunes n\' swage not slowed down its zéle for Geneva, it etoit always a frightening enemy for those which menaçoient it, and consequently it was to be exposed to their blows. It was met in 1530 on the Jura by robbers, who stripped it and who still reflect it between the hands of the Duke of Savoye: this Prince made it lock up in the Castle of Chillon, where there remained without being questioned jusques in 1536; he was then delivré by Bernois, which s\' seized the Country of Vaud.
\' Bonnivard, while leaving its captivity, was pleased to find Geneva free and réformee: the Republic s\' hastened to testify its recognition to him, and to compensate it for the suffered evils qu\' it avoit; it accepted it Bourgeois city in June, 1536; it gave him the house inhabited formerly by the Vicar-General, and it him ace signed a pension of two hundred ecus d\' but so much qu\' he séjourneroit in Geneva. It was allowed in the Council of Deux-Cent in 1537. \' Bonnivard n\' did not finish d\' being useful: after having worked to make Geneva free, it succeeds in returning it tol' erante. Bonnivard urged the Council to be granted to the Ecclesiastics and to the peasants a sufficient tems to examine the qu\' proposals one them faisoit; it reússit by its softness: one always preaches Christianity successfully when one preaches it with charity.
\' Bonnivard was erudite: its manuscripts, which are in the public Library, prove qu\' it avoit read well the Latin classic authors, and qu\' it avoit thorough theology and l\' history. This great man aimoit sciences, and it croyoit qu\' they pouvoient to make the glory of Geneva; also it did not neglect anything to fix them in this incipient city; in 1551 it gave its library to the public; it was the beginning of our public biblothèque; and these books are partly the rare ones and beautiful editions of the fifteenth century qu\' one sees in our collection. Lastly, during the same year, this good patriot instituted the Republic his heiress, in condition qu\' it projettoit the foundation. \' It paroit that Bonnivard died in 1570; but one cannot l\' ensure, parcequ\' a gap in Nécrologe since July, 1570 ago, jusques in 1571. \ ' |
