With such a name...

TANTO NOMINI NULLUM PAR ELOGIUM
(With such a name, there is no need for eulogy)

This was inscribed on X' tomb. 

X was an honourable man and a good citizen; but, attached to the house of Y, he was forced, during the oppression of his country, to conceal his love for liberty. The court of Rome strictly prohibited his book, I certainly believe, for it is that court which he most clearly depicts. 

Jean Jacques Rousseau

Who is X?
