Bodinus

Bodinus is a Latinized surname, most notably associated with the 16th-century French jurist and political philosopher, Jean Bodin (1530–1596). The name "Bodinus" appears frequently in academic and historical texts when referring to Bodin's published works in Latin, a common practice during that era for disseminating scholarly ideas across linguistic boundaries. Using the Latinized form allowed his work to reach a wider European audience familiar with Latin as the language of scholarship. Consequently, “Bodinus” is essentially a scholarly alternative to “Bodin.”
