Rabaut, Pierre

RABAUT, PIERRE: French Protestant, youngest son of Paul Rabaut, known also as Dupuis and Rabaut le jeune; b. at Nîmes in Apr., 1746; d. there 1808. He chose a commercial career, but, like his two brothers, took an active part in politics, being elected to parliament and later to the bench in his native city. Of his works the following deserve mention for their value to French Protestantism of the eighteenth century: Details historiques et recueil 379de pièces sur les divers projets qui ont été concus, depuis la Réformation jusqu’à ce jour, pour la réunion de toutes les communions chrétiennes, (Paris, 1806); Notice historique sur la situation des églises chrétiennes reformées en France depuis leur rétablissement jusqu’à ce jour (1806); and Annuaire ou répertoire ecclésiastique à l’usage des églises réformées et protestantes (1807).
