COURAYER, PIERRE FRANCOIS LE (1681-1776) , French Roman Catholic theological writer, was born at Rouen on the 17th of November 1681. While canon regular and librarian of the abbey of St Genevieve at Paris, he conducted a correspondence with Archbishop
Wake
  on the subject of episcopal succession in England, which supplied him with material for his
work
 , Dissertation sur la validite des ordinations des Anglais et sur la succession des eveques de l'Eglise anglicane, avec les preuves justificatives des faits avances (Brussels, 1723; Eng. trans. by D. Williams, London, 1725; reprinted
Oxford
 , 1844, with memoir of the author), an attempt to prove that there has been no break in the line of ordination from the apostles to the English clergy. His opinions exposed him to a prosecution, and with the help of Bishop Atterbury, then in
exile
  in Paris, he took
refuge
  in England, where he was presented by the university of
Oxford
  with a
doctor
 's degree. In 1736 he published a French
translation
  of
Paolo
  Sarpi's History of the Council of Trent, and dedicated it to Queen Caroline, from whom he received a pension of 200 a year. Besides this he translated Sleidan's History of the Reformation, and wrote several theological works. He died in London on the 17th of October 1776, and was buried in the cloisters of Westminster Abbey. In his will, dated two years before his death, he declared himself still a member of the Roman Catholic Church, although dissenting from many of its opinions.
