Claude Rabuel (1669 to 1729) was a French Jesuit mathematician and professor at the Collège de la Trinité in Lyon. He analyzed the Géométrie of Descartes, and his Commentaires sur la Géométrie de M. Descartes was published at Lyon by Marcellin Duplain in 1730, the year after his death. The book is an early detailed commentary on the work in which Descartes joined algebra to geometry, and it is the work for which the English Wikipedia article lists him, with scans of the 1730 edition held by a European library and the Internet Archive.
