Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: INV-JED
JAUBERT, PIERRE AMEDEE $MILIEN PROBE (1779-1847), French Orientalist, was born at Aix in
Provence
  on the 3rd of June 1779. He was one of the most distinguished pupils of Silvestre de Sacy, whose funeral Discours he pronounced in 1838. Jaubert acted as interpreter to
Napoleon
  in
Egypt
  in 1798-1799, and on his return to Paris held various posts under government. In 1802 he accompanied Sebastiani on his Eastern mission; and in 1804 he was at
Constantinople
 . Next year he was despatched to Persia to arrange an alliance with the shah; but on the way he was seized and imprisoned in a dry cistern for four months by the pasha of Bayazid. The pasha's death freed Jaubert, who successfully accomplished his mission, and rejoined
Napoleon
  at
Warsaw
  in 1807. On the eve of Napoleon's downfall he was appointed charge d'affaires at
Constantinople
 . The restoration ended his diplomatic career, but in 1818 he undertook a journey with government aid to Tibet, whence he succeeded in introducing into France 400 Kashmir goats. The rest of his
life
  Jaubert spent in study, in writing and in teaching. He became professor of Persian in the college de France, and director of the ecole des langues orientales, and in 1830 was elected member of the Academie des
Inscriptions
 . In 1841 he was made a peer of France and councillor of state. He died in Paris on the 28th of January, 1847.
Besides articles in the
Journal
  asiatique, he published Voyage en Armenie et en Perse (1821; the edition of 186o has a notice of Jaubert, by M. Sedillot) and Elements de la grammaire turque (1823-1834). See notices in the
Journal
  asiatique, Jan. 1847, and the Journal des debats, Jan. 30, 1847.
