Pierre Pithou was born at Troyes on the 1st of November 1539. He is also known as Petrus Pithoeus.
His taste for literature was early seen, and his father Pierre (1496 - 1556) cultivated it to the utmost. He received his lawyer’s robes at Paris and was called to the Paris bar in 1560.
On the outbreak of the second war of religion in 1567, Pithou, as Calvinist, withdrew to Sedan and afterwards to Basel, whence be returned to France on the publication of the edict of pacification.
Soon afterwards he accompanied the duc de Montmorency on his embassy to England, returning shortly before the massacre of St Bartholomew, in which he narrowly escaped with his life, deciding to become a Protestant.
Henry, shortly after his own accession to the throne of France, recognized Pithou's talents and services by bestowing upon him various legal appointments.
His work Satire Menippie (1593) did so much to damage the cause of the League; the harangue of the Sieur d'Aubray is usually attributed to his pen.
He died at Nogent- sur-Seine on the 1st of November 1596.
His valuable library, specially rich in manuscripts, was for the most part transferred to what is now the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris.
His earliest publication was Adversariorum subsectorum lib. II. (1565).
He also edited Leges Visigothorum (1579), the Capitula of Charlemagne, Louis the Pious, and Charles the Bald in 1588; he assisted his brother François in preparing the Corpus juris canonici (1687).
His Libertés de l'église gallicane (1594) is reprinted in his Opera sacra juridica his orica miscellanea collecta (1609). In classical literature he was the first who made the world acquainted with the Fables of Phaedrus (1596).
Pithou also edited the Pervigilium Veneris (1587), and Juvenal and Persius (1585).

Though at first a Calvinist, he later withdrew by abjuring the Protestant faith. He converted to Catholicism in 1573.
