LARCHER, PIERRE HENRI (1726-1812)

This article appears in Volume V16, Page 214 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LAP-LEO
LARCHER, PIERRE HENRI (1726-1812) , French classical scholar and archaeologist, was born at Dijon on the 12th of October 1726. Originally intended for the law, he abandoned it for the classics. His (
anonymous
 )
translation
  of Chariton's Chaereas and Callirriioe (1763) marked him as an excellent Greek scholar. His attack upon Voltaire's Philosophic de l'historie (published under the name of 1'Abbe Bazin) created considerable
interest
  at the time. His archaeological and mythological Mentoire sur
Venus
  (1775), which has been ranked with similar works of Heyne and
Winckelmann
 , gained him admission to the Academie des
Inscriptions
  (1778). After the imperial university was founded, he was appointed professor of Greek literature (1809) with Boissonade as his assistant. He died on the 22nd of December 1812. Larcher's best
work
  was his
translation
  of Herodotus (1786, new ed. by L.
Humbert
 , 188o) on the preparation of which he had spent fifteen years. The translation itself, though correct, is dull, but the commentary (translated into English, London, 1829, new ed. 1844, by W. D. Cooley) dealing with historical, geographical and chronological questions, and enriched by a wealth of
illustration
  from ancient and modern authors, is not without value.
See J. F. Boissonade, Notice sur in vie et les gaits de P. L. (1813); F. A. Wolf, Literarische Analecten, i. 205; D. A. Wyttenbach, Philomathia, iii. (1817).
