Pierre de La Primaudaye (1546-1620) was a French writer. He is known particularly for L'Academie Française, which was influential in English translations, from 1584 onwards, particularly The French Academie of 1618. Stuart Gillespie (Shakespeare's Books, 2001, p.277) describes it as a 'prose compendium of scientific, moral and philosophical knowledge'. It may have been used as a source by Shakespeare.
