Daniel Superville was born in Saumur in 1657, studied in Geneva, and was made pastor in Loudun, where he remained until the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, when persecution under Louis XIV forced him to leave his homeland and take refuge in Holland. He was appointed minister in Rotterdam, where he remained until his death in 1728.
