DUPUY, PIERRE French scholar, otherwise known as PUTEANUS, was born at Agen (Lot-et-Garonne). In 1615 he was commissioned by Mathieu Mole, first president of the parlement of Paris, to catalogue the "Tresor des chartes." His ms. inventory is preserved in the original and in copy in the Bibliotheque Nationale, and transcriptions are in the national ar chives in Paris, at the record office in London, and elsewhere. Dupuy and his brother then bought from Rigault the post of keeper of the king's library, and drew up a catalogue of the library. He was author of some important books, written from the Gallican standpoint, on the history of the relations of Church and State in the middle ages. Dupuy died in Paris on Dec. 14, 165i.
