Scholastique

Scholastique Mukasonga is a French-Rwandan author, born in Rwanda. In 2012, she won the prix Renaudot and the prix Ahmadou-Kourouma for her book Our Lady of the Nile. In addition to being a finalist for the International Dublin Literary Award and the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, Mukasonga was rewarded in 2014 with the Seligmann Prize against racism and intolerance and in 2015 with the prize Société des gens de lettres.

Jean Scholastique Pitton (1621 – 1689) was a French writer and historian. He was the author of a History of the city of Aix (1666), considered of some usefulness by his successors, although badly ordered and badly written. His later writings received better reviews.

Scholastique of Champagne (d. 1219) was a daughter of Henry I of Champagne and Marie of France, a daughter of Eleanor of Aquitaine. I found it odd that she was given this name, as it's an unusual name among medieval royalty, despite the saint association, and medieval royalty usually reused the same names.
