Antoine Qaurtier

Antoine Quartier (1632–1702) was a French memoirist, who wrote about his experiences being enslaved in Tripoli.^[1] His memoir was published as L'Esclave religieux et ses avantures.^[2]

He fell victim to the Barbary slave trade after having been abducted by the barbary corsairs and sold in Libya, where he lived as a slave between 1660 and 1668. After having returned to France, he wrote a memoir of his experience as a slave, which is a rare description of slavery in Libya, most barbary slave narratives depicting slavery in Alger and Morocco.^[3]

Joined the Paris Congregation of the Order of Mercy in 1671. He was ordained priest after September 1676.
