Some Famous People called Pierre Dubois
Pierre Dubois (scholastic)
Pierre Dubois (c. 1255 – after 1321), a French publicist in the reign of Philip the Fair, was the author of a series of political pamphlets embodying original and daring views.
Dubois was known to Jean du Tillet in the 16th, and to Pierre Dupuy in the 17th century, but remained practically forgotten until the middle of the 19th century, when his history was reconstructed from his works. He was a Norman by birth, probably a native of Coutances, where he exercised the functions of royal advocate of the bailliage and procurator of the university.

Pierre Dubois (born 19 July 1945), is a French specialist in everything related to enchantment. He is an author, Franco-Belgian comics (bande dessinée) scriptwriter, storyteller and lecturer at the origin of renewed interest in fairies and little people in France.Fascinated quite young by fairy tales and Fairytale fantasy, he became an illustrator after only a short study of Fine Arts.He has brought together local legends and recreated them in radio and television shows for over thirty years. He is the inventor of elficology (elficologie) as a name for the study of the "little people" (fairies and other similar beings), although it was originally just a joke on his part.His first comic book was published in 1986. Since then he has produced one each year and also made regular appearances on television and at conferences, always in the area of fairy tales, dreams and legends related to the fairies.
It is largely thanks to his encyclopedias of fairies, imps, and elves, results of twenty years of research and published in the 1990s, that Pierre Dubois won his international recognition as a French specialist in everything involving magic. These encyclopedias sold thousands of copies at a time when they were the very first works of their kind in France.
