André Dacier (1651-1722) was a French classical scholar, member of the French Academy, and was appointed keeper of the library of the Louvre. "The most important of Dacier's works were his editions of Pompeius Festus and Verrius Flaccus, and his translations of Horace (with notes), Aristotle's Poetics, the Electra and Oedipus the King of Sophocles; Epictetus, Hippocrates and Plutarch's Lives. Dacier and his wife Anne together translated Meditations by Marcus Aurelius into French in 1690 91, as well as writing an extensive commentary on the work" (Wikipedia).
