Pierre des Maizeaux, also spelled Desmaizeaux (died 1745) was a French Huguenot writer exiled in London, best known as the translator and biographer of Pierre Bayle. His father, a minister of the reformed church, had to leave France on the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, and took refuge in Geneva, where Pierre was educated. Pierre Bayle gave him an introduction to the 3rd Lord Shaftesbury, with whom, in 1689, he went to England, where he engaged in literary work. He remained in close touch with the religious refugees in England and Holland, and with the leading continental savants and writers, who were in the habit of employing him to conduct such business as they might have in England. In 1720 he was elected a fellow of the Royal Society. He also edited the writings of John Locke (1720). This 'model' biography, a 'specimen of my work', was published to promote the forthcoming edition of Bayle's Biographical Dictionary upon which Desmaiseaux was currently working.
