Description

David Martin (September 7, 1639; Revel, diocese of Lavaur - September 9, 1721), was a French Protestant theologian scholar.

He studied in Montauban and at the reformed academy of Nîmes. He then studied theology at Puy-Laurent, where the academy of Montauban had been transferred. Admitted to the ministry in 1663, he established himself as parish priest at the church of Espérance, in the diocese of Castres. In 1670, he accepted an invitation to the church of La Caune, in the same diocese, where he officiated until the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, in 1685. In 1686, the magistrates of Deventer invited him to become professor of divinity and parish priest of the Walloon church of this city; but the regency of Utrecht, where he had taken up residence, fully aware of his merit, urged him to accept the charge of pastor in their city.

He had studied his mother tongue grammatically; and when the French Academy was about to publish the second edition of his Dictionary, he sent them remarks and observations, of which they profited, with polite thanks to the author. He died of a violent fever in 1721, after completing his eighty-second year.
