Arnauld, Antoine, known as the Great Arnauld 1612-94
French Jansenist philosopher, lawyer, mathematician and priest

His attacks on the Jesuits and his activities as head of the Jansenist sect in France led to his expulsion from the Sorbonne, persecution, and ultimate refuge in Belgium. While at Port Royal, where there was a Jansenist community, he collaborated with Blaise Pascal and Pierre Nicole (1625-95) on the work known as the Port-Royal Logic (1662).
