Jofroi of Waterford

Jofroi of Waterford (fl. 1300) was a French translator.

Probably a native of Waterford in Ireland, Jofroi was a Dominican, apparently based in Paris, where he produced translations of Latin works into the French language. "He has no surviving connection with Ireland other than his name. It appears from an allusion in his work that he was based in Paris."[1]

Jofroi's known translations are:

His original work is a catalogue of all the known wines and ales of Europe.[2]
