The Academy of Saumur (French: Académie de Saumur) was a Huguenot university at Saumur in western France.[1] It existed from 1593, when it was founded by Philippe de Mornay,[2] until shortly after 1685, when Louis XIV decided on the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, ending the limited toleration of Protestantism in France.[3]
