Ami Perrin (c. 1500 – 1561) was a Genevan Libertine and one of the most powerful figures in Geneva in the 16th century as chief opponent of religious reformer John Calvin's rule of the city. [Ami Perrin] wanted to be elaborately dressed and to live well, and was not merely dainty in his eating, which means to desire little but the best, but dainty and gluttonous together, since he must have plenty of the best. François Bonivard — Ami Perrin, quoted by François Bonivard
