Claude Clerselier

Claude Clerselier (1614, Paris – 1684, Paris) was a French editor. He edited and translated several works by René Descartes, especially his letters (Paris, 1657, 1659 et 1667), L'Homme, et un Traité de la formation du fœtus du mesme auteur avec les remarques de Louys de La Forge, 1664, L'Homme...et...Le Monde, 1667 et de ses Principes, 1681.

He was probably the uncle of the actor Denis Clerselier, known as Nanteuil.
