Pierre-Marie-François Baour-Lormian

Louis-Pierre Baour (24 March 1770 – 18 December 1854) was a French poet and writer.

Baour first published satires, then in translations in verse (1795) of Ossian's poems and of Torquato Tasso Jerusalem Delivered.

He successfully put on a production of the tragedy of Omasis, ou Joseph en Égypte as well as the operas La Jérusalem délivrée, Aminte, and Alexandre à Babylone.

In 1819, he redid his translation of Torquato Tasso, which remains his main work.

In his last years, having gone blind, he put the poem of Job into verse.
