Jean Bodin
The term was used for an external pupil of a "collège" (i.e., a kind of French high school, especially Catholic). Jean Bodin, quoting the examination of three witches by Paolo Grillandi of Castiglione at the Castello San Paolo, Spoleto, records that the witches referred to the Devil as "Master Martinet" ("Maître Martinet"), or the "Little Master" ("Petit maître").
