Characteristics of de Sacy's Bible
Some theologians criticized the translation of de Sacy as sometimes deviating from the letter of the original for no apparent reason. Others saw it as sober and elegant. As for explanations, they are at the time too encouraging the theories of Cornelius Jansen.
The Bible de Port-Royal was developed as a result of work carried out by logic Abbey de Port-Royal to Paris (see Port-Royal Logic). This logic was wanted to build exclusively on mathematics it was thought it could transpose the models in other fields of knowledge and the exercise of reason, therefore also in the field of training syntactic et grammatical of all statements of language, offering an ideal of rational language who wanted to reconcile the spirit of finesse and the spirit of geometry : the discourse par excellence.
