a French Jansenist theologian, was born at Rheims in 1675. He passed the last twenty-five years of his life in Holland, to which he retired for refuge from persecution. He died in 1751. Among his works are a French translation of the Bible (1739), which is esteemed for fidelity; and a Manual for the Christian (1740).
