Biography
Baour-Lormian was born at Toulouse. Baour first published satires, then in translations in verse (1795) of Ossian's poems and of Torquato T*o Jerusalem Delivered. He successfully put on a production of the tragedy of Omasis, ou Joseph en Égypte as well as the operas La Jérusalem délivrée, Aminte, and Alexandre à Babylone. He worked in all the literary genres, even in epic poetry (L'Atlantide, 1812). In 1819, he redid his translation of Torquato T*o, which remains his main work. In his last years, having gone blind, he put the poem of Job into verse.
He was elected a member of the Académie Française on 29 March 1815. Baour-Lormian died at Paris in 1854.
