Jacob Bayle (fl.1631–85) was Reformed minister working in Montauban and Carla-le-Comte (now Carla-Bayle). He published (1682) his brother’s Critique générale, a reaction to a work on the history of Calvinism by the ex-Jesuit Louis Maimbourg (1610–86). Bayle’s critique led to his arrest in June 1685 when the campaign against French Huguenots reached its height with the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes. See: BBK, vol. 1, cols 432–3.
