• ... that mathematician Abraham de Moivre (1667–1754) was sent to Prieuré Saint-Martin-des-Champs, a school that the authorities sent Protestant children to for indoctrination into Catholicism during a time of severe religious persecution in France during which Protestant worship was forbidden; yet de Moivre remained a steadfast Christian throughout his life; and that among his fellow Huguenot exiles in England, he was a colleague of editor and translator Pierre des Maizeaux?
