Louis-Isaac Lemaistre de Sacy (1613 – 1684), a priest of Port-Royal, was a theologian and French humanist. He is best known for his translation of the Bible, the most widespread French Bible in the 18th century, also known as the Bible de Port-Royal.
In 1650, he published a collection of prayers, the Heures de Port-Royal where he translated the highly successful liturgical hymns.
De Sacy was imprisoned in the Bastille in May 1666, remaining there until November, 1668. He took advantage of this time to complete the translation of the Old Testament into French from the Vulgate begun by his brother Antoine, and thus became the driving force a French language translation of the Bible, called the Bible du Port-Royal or Bible de Sacy.
