There was a man called Jérôme-Hermès Bolsec who in 1580 published, in Latin, a slanderous biography of John Calvin. I understand that many of the lies that have swirled around the name Calvin in subsequent centuries have their origin in Bolsec's work. However, I have been unable to find the document available anywhere for consultation. Would anyone happen to know where I might find a copy?
 
Tom, I'm not sure if you are looking for broader information on Bolsec, but the fine Calvin biographies by Robert Godfrey, THL Parker, and Bruce Gordon, all have interesting information about his relationship with Calvin.
