French Philosopher, Author, Lexicographer, Huguenot, Expat Fleeing Dutch Religious Tyranny
: A Huguenot, i.e., a French Protestant, who spent almost the whole of his productive life as a refugee in Holland. His life was devoted entirely to scholarship, and his erudition was second to none in his, or perhaps any, period. Although much of what he wrote was embedded in technical religious issues, for a century he was one the most widely read philosophers. (From: Plato.Stanford.edu.)
