Biography

吴承范,魏州人。
旧五代史卷九十二(晋书) 列传七:
  吴承范,字表微,魏州人也。父琼,右金吾卫将军,累赠太子少保。承范少好学,善属文,唐闵帝之镇邺都也,闻其才名,署为宾职,承范恳求随计,闵帝许之。长兴三年春,擢进士第。及闵帝即位,授左拾遗。清泰二年,以本官充史馆修撰,与同职张昭远等共修《明宗实录》,转右补阙,依前充职。高祖革命,迁尚书屯田员外郎、知制诰。天福三年,改枢密院直学士,未几,自祠部郎中、知制诰召充翰林学士,正拜中书舍人,赐金紫。少帝嗣位,迁礼部侍郎,知贡举,寻遘疾而卒,年四十二。赠工部尚书。
  承范温厚寡言,善希人旨,桑维翰、李崧尤重之,尝荐于高祖,云可大用。承范知之,持重自养,虽遇盛夏,而犹服襦袴,加之以纯绵,盖虑有寒湿之患也。然竟不获其志,其命也夫!
