CAUSSIN DE PERCEVAL

This article appears in Volume V05, Page 558 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CAU-CHA
CAUSSIN DE PERCEVAL , ARMAND-PIERRE (17951871), French orientalist, was born in Paris on the 13th of January 1795. His father,
Jean
  Jacques
Antoine
  Caussin de Perceval (17591835), was professor of Arabic in the College de France. In 1814 he went to
Constantinople
  as a student interpreter, and afterwards travelled in Asiatic Turkey, spending a year with the Maronites in the Lebanon, and finally becoming dragoman at Aleppo. Returning to Paris, he became professor of vulgar Arabic in the school of living Oriental languages in 1821, and also professor of Arabic in the College de France in 1833. In 1849 he was elected to the
Academy
  of
Inscriptions
 . He died at Paris during the siege on the 15th of January 1871.
Caussin de Perceval published (1828) a useful Grammaire arabe vulgaire, which passed through several editions (4th ed., 1858), and edited and enlarged Elie Bocthor's 1 Dictionnaire francais-arabe (2 vols., 1828; 3rd ed., 1864); but his
great
  reputation rests almost entirely on one book, the Essai sur l'histoire des Arabes avant l'Islamisme, pendant l'epoque de
Mahomet
  (3 vols., 18471849), in which the native traditions as to the early history of the Arabs, down to the death of Mahommed and the complete subjection of all the tribes to
Islam
 , are brought together with wonderful industry and set forth with much learning and lucidity. One of the
principal
  MS. sources used is the
great
  Kitkb al-Aghfni (Book of Songs) of Abu Faraj, which has since been published (20 vols., Boulak, 1868) in
Egypt
 ; but no publication of texts can deprive the Essai, which is now very
rare, of its value as a trustworthy guide through a tangled mass of tradition.
