	Pierre Antoine Motteux - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pierre Antoine Motteux (or Peter Motteux, February 25, 1663 - February 18, 1718), English translator and dramatist, of French parentage, was born at Rouen.
		After the revocation of the Edict of Nantes he settled in London with his kinsman and godfather, Paul Dominique Motteux.
		In 1694 he completed Urquhart's work by a translation of the fourth and fifth books, which, although not to be compared with the racy, nervous writing of Urquhart, shows a perfect mastery of colloquial English and an intimate and adequate sense of Rabelais's meaning.

	Pierre Antoine Motteux
		Pierre Antoine Motteux (February 25, 1663 - February 18, 1718), English translator and dramatist, of French parentage, was born at Rouen.
		More important than his dramatic work is his History of the Renowned Don Quixote de la Mancha (4 vols., 1701, 2nd ed., 1712), "translated from the original by many hands and published by Peter Motteux," one of the most masterly and spirited translations in English.
		An excellent life by Henri van Laun is prefixed to the 1880 reprint (4 vols.) of JG Lockhart[?]'s edition of Motteux's Don Quixote.
