Madam,
I am looking for the familial origines of Isaac Lapeyrère, born in
Bordeaux in 1596, author of several books, the most known of them being "
Du rappel des juifs", 1643 and "Praeadamitae …", 1655 ("Men before Adam …").
His mother's parents were:
Julien (de)
Malet, or
Mallet, and Catherine de Terrague, who herself was the grand-daughter of a: Gabriel de Tarrégua, maybe from spanish and judaic origin. Till now, I could'nt find anything about the family of
Julien Malet. He was Treasurer of the King of
Navarre Henri III, who became later
Henri IV, King of France.
I found on the web your message about surnames, and I am very curious to know if you have more information about the
Malet. I should be very thankful if you wanted to give me an answer about this.
With my best regards
E. Quennehen
