"Saumur" in New Schaff–Herzog

SAUMUR SAUMTJR, so'mur: A town of France (155 m. s.w. of Paris) on the Loire, famous as the seat of the Protestant academy founded in 1598 by the national synod of Montpellier, and suppressed by royal edict Jan. 8, 1685. The academy, which developed the first fertile school of criticism in modern theology, owed to a certain extent both its existence and its scientific character to Philippe Duplessis-Mornay, the governor of the place, who watched the young institution with great tenderness (see Du Plessis-Mornay, Philippe, § 5). The Scotchman John Cameron (q. v.) became one of its first professors, and brought with him that spirit of free and independent research which afterward characterised the academy. Three of his disciples became professors there nearly at the same time, Moïse Amyraut (q. v.), Joeué de la Place (see Placeus), and Louis Cappel (see Cappel, 3). The theological significance of the school is in large part due to the theory of hypothetical universalism connected with the name of Amyraut, and the Biblical researches of Cappel.
