Charles-Emmanuel Borjon de Scellery

Charles-Emmanuel Borjon de Scellery (1633–1691) was a French jurist, man of letters, and accomplished musical amateur whose historical significance in early music rests on a single, influential publication devoted to the musette (the bellows-blown French court bagpipe). Born in 1633 and active as an advocate (avocat) in the parlements of Dijon and Paris, he moved in educated, metropolitan circles and cultivated music as a serious, technically informed pursuit rather than as casual diversion.
