GUIGNES, JOSEPH DE (17211800)

This article appears in Volume V12, Page 690 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GUI-HAN
GUIGNES, JOSEPH DE (17211800) , French orientalist, was born at Pontoise on the 19th of October 1721. He succeeded Fourmont at the Royal Library as secretary interpreter of the Eastern languages. A Memoire historique sur l'origine des Huns et des Turcs, published by de Guignes in 1748, obtained his admission to the Royal Society of London in 1952, and he became an associate of the French
Academy
  of
Inscriptions
  in 1754. Two years later he began to publish his learned and laborious Histoire generale des Huns, des Mongoles, des Turcs el des autres Tartares occidentaux (17561758); and in 1757 he was appointed to the chair of Syriac at the College de France. He maintained that the Chinese nation had originated in Egyptian colonization, an
opinion
  to which, in spite of every argument, he obstinately clung. He died in Paris in 1800. The Histoire had been translated into German by Dahnert (1768-5771). De Guignes left a son, Christian Louis Joseph (19591845), who, after learning Chinese from his father, went as
consul
  to
Canton
 , where he spent seventeen years. On his return to France he was charged by the government with the
work
  of preparing a Chinese-French-Latin dictionary (1813). He was also the author of a
work
  of travels (Voyages d Pekin, Manille, et l'ile de France, 1808).
See Querard, La France litteraire, where a
list
  of the memoirs contributed by de Guignes to the
Journal
  des savants is given.
