DOUJAT, JEAN. - Canonist, b. at Toulouse in 1609, d. at Paris in 1688. He completed his studies in his native city, where, following family traditions, he was a lawyer and, later, a professor. From 1651 until his death he taught canon law in the faculty of law of the University of Paris.

He wrote: Pneumonium canonicorum libri V (Paris 1687, reprinted several times). It is a historical compendium of the sources and literature of canon law, still useful today, especially for the last book, which deals with the history of canonists. Other writings: Specimen iuris canonici apud Gallos usu recepti (Paris 1671) and Notae ad institutiones P. Lancellotti (ibid. 1684).
