Omer Talon (Audomarus Talaeus) (c. 1510–1562) was a French humanist, a close ally of Petrus Ramus.
Biographical details are few; and there are some quite serious bibliographical difficulties in distinguishing Talon and Ramus as authors (prolific and given to teamwork).
According to the Biographie universelle of Michaud, he had a teaching position in rhetoric in 1534, at the Collège du cardinal Lemoine in Paris.
Talon's Institutiones oratoriae was then published in 1544 or 1545, and proved popular.
[2] [3] There are sources that make Ramus the author of the 1545 work, with Talon then writing the 1548 Rhetorica.
