See also:PIERRE See also:LARIVEY (c. 1550-1612)
, See also:French dramatist, of See also:Italian origin, was the son of one of the Giunta, the famous printers of See also:Florence and See also:Venice
.
The See also:family was established at See also:Troyes and had taken the name of See also:Larivey or L'Arrivey, by way of See also:translation from giunto
.
See also:Pierre Larivey appears to have See also:cast horoscopes, and to have acted as clerk to the See also:chapter of the See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

church of St See also:Etienne, of which he eventually became a See also:canon
.
He has no claim to be the originator of French See also:comedy
.
The Corrivaux of See also:Jean de la See also:Taille See also:dates from 1562, but Larivey naturalized the Italian comedy of intrigue in See also:France
.
He adapted, rather than translated, twelve Italian comedies into French See also:prose
.
The first See also:volume of the Comedies facetieuses appeared in 1579, and the second in 1611
.
Only nine in all were printed.' The See also:licence of the See also:manners depicted in these plays is matched by the coarseness of the expression
.
Larivey's merit lies in the use of popular See also:language in See also:dialogue, which often rises to real excellence, and was not without See also:influence on See also:Moliere and See also:Regnard
.
Moliere's L'Avare owes something to the See also:scene in Larivey's masterpiece, See also:Les Esprits, where Severin laments the loss of his See also:purse, and the opening scene of the piece seems to have suggested Regnard's Retour imprevu
.
It is uncertain whether Larivey's plays were represented, though they were evidently written for the See also:stage
.
In any See also:case prose comedy gained very little ground in popular favour before the See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

Larivey was the author of many See also:translations, varying in subject from the Facetieuses nuits (1573) of Straparola to the Humanite de Jesus-See also:Christ (1604) from Pietro See also:Aretino
