HERBELOT DE MOLAINVILLE, BARTHELEMY

This article appears in Volume V13, Page 338 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HEG-HIG
HERBELOT DE MOLAINVILLE, BARTHELEMY D' (1625-1695), French orientalist, was born on the 14th of December 1625 at Paris. He was educated at the university of Paris, and devoted himself to the study of oriental languages, going to Italy to perfect himself in them by converse with the orientals who frequented its sea-ports. There he also made the acquaintance of Holstenius, the Dutch humanist (1596-1661), and Leo Allatius, the Greek scholar (1586-1669). On his return to France after a year and a half, he was received into the
house
  of Fouquet, superintendent of finance, who gave him a pension of 1500 livres. Losing this on the disgrace of Fouquet in 1661, he was appointed secretary and interpreter of Eastern languages to the king. A few years later he again visited Italy, when the grand-duke Ferdinand II. of Tuscany presented him with a large number of valuable Oriental MSS., and tried to attach him to his
court
 . Herbelot, however, was recalled to France by Colbert, and received from the king a pension equal to the one he had lost. In 1692 he succeeded D'Auvergne in the chair of Syriac, in the College de France. He died in Paris on the 8th of December 1695. His
great
 
work
  is the Bibliotheque orientale,ou dictionnaire universel contenant tout ce qui regarde la connoissance des peuples de l'Orient, which occupied him nearly all his
life
 , and was completed in 1697 by A.
Galland
 . It is based on the immense Arabic dictionary of Hadji Khalf a, of which indeed it is largely an abridged
translation
 , but it also contains the substance of a vast number of other Arabic and Turkish compilations and manuscripts.
The Bibliotheque was reprinted at Maestricht (fol. 1776), and at the Hague (4 vols. 4to, 1777-1799). The latter edition is enriched with the contributions of the Dutch orientalist Schultens, Johann
Jakob
  Reiske (1716-1774), and by a supplement provided by Visdelow and
Galland
 . Herbelot's other works, none of which have been published, comprise an Oriental
Anthology
 , and an Arabic, Persian, Turkish and Latin Dictionary.
