Antoine Court

Antoine Court (27 March 1696 – 13 June 1760) was a French reformer called the "Restorer of Protestantism in France." He was born in Villeneuve-de-Berg, in Languedoc, on 27 March 1696, although at least one source lists a different date. His parents were peasants, adherents of the Reformed church, which was at the time a target of state persecution following the 1685 Edict of Fontainebleau.

Antoine (sometimes translated as Anthony) was ordained by Pierre Corties at a Synod in 1718. He founded a school for clergy and encouraged Paul Rabaut to join the ministry of the church. Provided by Wikipedia
