Jean-Baptiste Luton Durival (4 July 1725 – 14 February 1810) was an 18th-century French historian, diplomat and Encyclopédiste.[1]

Life

His father was Jacques Durival, Officier de la garde robe de Son Altesse royale (S.A.R.), married since 29 October 1712 to Anne Humblot, his mother.[2] Overall, the family consisted of three sons, Nicolas-Luton Durival the elder one, then Jean-Baptiste Luton and Claude Durival (1728–1805) and two daughters Catherine and Marie Anne Durival.

While his elder brother was secrétaire des conseils d’État et des finances under Stanisław Leszczyński, Jean-Baptiste took the post of first secretary of Foreign Affairs, premier secrétaire des affaires étrangères, under the Duke Étienne-François de Choiseul and led a diplomatic career.

In 1777, he was summoned to the Dutch Republic as Minister of France. He was married to Louise Élisabeth Dufrène (1738–1819).[3]

Luton-Durival wrote several articles related to the Art militaire for the Encyclopédie. He was a member of the Académie de Stanislas.
