Saint-Cyran, Abbé de (1581–1643), Jean Duvergier de Hauranne, commendatory Abbot of Saint-Cyran from 1620, and one of the authors of
Jansenism. He was a close friend of C. O.
Jansen, and, attracted to St
Augustine's writings, he sought to reform Catholicism on Augustinian lines, largely in the hope of defeating Protestantism with its own weapons. From 1623 he was associated with the
Arnauld family and with
Port-Royal; as spiritual counsellor of the convent from 1633 he came to exercise great influence.
