Antoine Court was the son of Antoine Court (q. v. ), was born at Nimes in 1728.
Antoine Court received a good education, and became, like his father, a pastor of the Reformed Church.
Antoine Court had conceived the project of a work which should set in a new light the phenomena, especially the languages and mythologies, of the ancient world; and, after his father's death, he went to Paris in order to be near the necessary books. After long years of research, he published in 1775 the first volume of his vast undertaking under the title of Le Monde primitif, analyst et compart avec le monde moderne. The ninth volume appeared in 1784, leaving the work still unfinished. The literary world marvelled at the encyclopaedic learning displayed by the author, and supposed that the French Academy, or some other society of scholars, must have combined their powers in its production. Now, however, the world has well-nigh forgotten the huge quartos. These learned labours did not prevent Gebelin from pleading earnestly the cause of religious tolerance.
In 1760 Antoine Court published a work entitled Les Toulousaines, advocating the rights of the Protestants; and he afterwards established at Paris an agency for collecting information as to their sufferings, and for exciting general interest in their' cause.
He was also a supporter of the principles of the economists, and Quesnay called him his well- beloved disciple.
In the last year of his life he became acquainted with Mesmer, and published a Lettre sur le magnttisme animal.
He was imposed upon by speculators in whom he placed confidence, and was reduced to destitution by the failure of a scheme in which they engaged him.
