Pierre Allix, a French Protestant divine, born in Alencon in 1631, died in London, March 3, 1717. While pastor of a reformed congregation at Charenton he assisted Claude in preparing a new French version of the Bible, and acquired some celebrity by a controversy with Bossuet. On the revocation of the edict of Nantes he took refuge in England, established a French congregation in conformity with the Anglican church, and in 1690 was appointed by Bishop Burnet treasurer of Salisbury cathedral. He made several attempts, in Holland, Switzerland, and Germany, to cement a more perfect union among the reformed churches. Besides a number of theological and critical works in French and Latin, he wrote in English (of which he was an excellent master) "Reflections upon the Books of Holy Scripture" (1688); "Remarks on the Churches of Piedmont" (1690); "Remarks on the Ancient Churches of the Albigenses" (1692), etc.
