P. Arabeyre has attempted to disentangle the biographies of A. and that of his nephew of the same name. Both were noble; both held central positions in the government during the tumultuous years of the religious wars. One of them became premier president of the parlement of Paris in 1572, but it is not sure which, because the death dates of both of them are confused. For our purposes Arabeyre has established that the three treatises attributed to ‘Antonius Fumeus’ in TUI 1584 are the work of the uncle.
