Bible de Port-Royal

Portrait of Louis-Isaac Lemaistre de Sacy, lord of Port-Royal, or of Antoine Le Maître, his elder brother, by the workshop of Philippe de Champaigne

The Bible de Port-Royal ("Port-Royal Bible"), or Bible de Sacy ("Sacy Bible"), is a French translation of the Catholic Bible done by Louis-Isaac Lemaistre de Sacy. It was first published in installments between 1667 and 1696. Though praised for the purity of its classical form, the work attracted the suspicion of the Jesuits, who discovered in it a latent Protestantism, and was criticized by Richard Simon, a former Oratorian, on text-critical grounds. For over three centuries, it has been among the most popular of the French Bible translations.[1]: 349
