CHEZY, ANTOINE LEONARD DE (1793-1832) ,
French
  orientalist, was born at Neuilly on the 15th of January 1773. His father,
Antoine
  de Chezy (1,718-1798), was an engineer who finally became director of the f Cole des Ponts et Chaussees. The son was intended for his father's profession; but in 1799 he obtained a
post
  in the oriental department of the national library. About 1803 he began the study of Sanskrit, though he possessed neither grammar nor dictionary, and by
great
  labour he obtained sufficient knowledge of the language to be able to compose in it verses said to possess
great
  elegance. He was the first
professor
  of Sanskrit appointed in the College de
France
  (1815), a chevalier of the
Legion
  of Honour, and a member of the Academic des
Inscriptions
 . He died in 1832. Among his works were Medjouinet Leila (1807), from the Persian; Yadjanadatta Badha (1814) and La Reconnaissance de Sacountala (1830), from the Sanskrit; L'Anthologie trotique d'Amrou (1831), published under the pseudonym d'Apudy.
See the Me'moires of the Academic des
Inscriptions
  (new
series
 , vol. xii.), where there is a notice of Chezy by Silvestre de Sacy.
