The town of Lodève, in Languedoc, is on the pilgrimage route to Santiago da Compostela. Jean Plantavit de la Pause (1579-1651), of a Protestant upbringing but with a Catholic mother, studied Hebrew at Nîmes and Rome. He became bishop of Lodève in 1625 and worked hard to improve conditions for the poor, develop the town's infrastructure and repair the cathedral. He wrote several works on Hebrew scriptures, such as Florilegium rabbinicum, which were also published in that town, as well as a history of the bishops of Lodève.
