VALESIUS, va-li'shi-us, HENRICUS (HENRI DE VALOIS): French historian and scholar; b. at Paris Sept. 10, 1603; d. there May 7, 1676. Edu cated at the Jesuit school in Verdun and at the Collisge Clermont in Paris, he went, in 1622, to Bourges to study law, which he abandoned in 1630 to devote himself to scholarship. The first results were his editio princeps of the tenth-century com pend "On Virtue and Vice" (Polybii, Diodor£ Si euli, Nieolsi Dsmsseeni . . . ezeerpEa ex collectsneis Constantini Augusti Porphyrogenetce, Paris, 1634), and his edition of Ammianus Marcellinus (1636). His life-work, however, was a critical edition of the Greek church historians, comprising the writings of Eusebius, Socrates, Sozomen, Theodoret, and Evagrius, with excerpts from Philostorgius and Theodorua Lector (3 vols., Paris, 1659-73; ed. W. Reading, Cambridge, 1720 and often). His minor writings were edited by P. Burman the younger under the title H. Yalesii emendationum libri quin. que et de critics libri duo (Amsterdam, 1740), which also contains his orations and a biography by his brother Hadrian.
