Baume
Webster's Dictionary [1]
(a.) Designating or conforming to either of the scales used by the French chemist Antoine Baume in the graduation of his hydrometers; of or relating to Baume's scales or hydrometers. There are two Baume hydrometers. One, which is used with liquids heavier than water, sinks to 0¡ in pure water, and to 15¡ in a 15 per cent salt solution; the other, for liquids lighter than water, sinks to 0¡ in a 10 per cent salt solution and to 10¡ in pure water. In both cases the graduation, based on the distance between these fundamental points, is continued along the stem as far as desired.

(Montrevel), Claude De La cardinal-archbishop of Besancon, was born in 1531. He had as vicargeneral Anthony Lulle, father of the famous Raymond Lulle of the Isle of Majorca. It was this Anthony Lulle who collected the synodal statutes of the diocese of Besancon, and published them under the title, Statuta Synodalia Bisosnt. Eccles. Metrop., cum Tractat. Summariis (Lyons, Rouille, 1560). Baume-Montrevel distinguished himself by his zeal against the Calvinists, whom he drove out of his diocese.
