Biography
The Biographie universelle ancienne et moderne (Vol. 18, page 299, 1817) lists Martin Grandin as a graduate in Theology and Professor of Philosophy at the Collège de Navarre. According to the Biographie universelle he published his new edition of Ozanam in 1724 (sic), in which he made stylistic changes, deleted parts he considered less worthy, and added some “problèmes de musique” (this should clearly read “magie”).
