Founder Philippe de Mornay Headquarters Saumur, France | Founded 1593 | |
The Academy of Saumur (French: Académie de Saumur) was a Huguenot university at Saumur in western France. It existed from 1593, when it was founded by Philippe de Mornay, until shortly after 1683, when Louis XIV decided on the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, ending the limited toleration of Protestantism in France.
Amyraldism
The Academy was the home of Amyraldism, an important strand of Protestant thought of the seventeenth century. Also called Salmurianism or hypothetical universalism, it was a movement remaining within Calvinism.
The Helvetic Consensus and Westminster Confession were concerned to combat the tendency Amyraldism represented.
