PARIS, ALEXIS PAULIN (1800-x881)

This article appears in Volume V20, Page 803 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PAI-PAS
PARIS, ALEXIS PAULIN (1800-x881) , French savant, was born at Avenay (
Marne
 ) on the 25th of
March
  'Soo. He published in 1824 an Apologie pour l'ecole romantique, and took an active part in Parisian journalism. His appointment, in 1828, to the department of manuscripts in the Bibliotheque royale left him leisure to pursue his studies in medieval French literature. Paulin Paris lived before minute methods of research had been generally applied to modern literature, and his
chief
  merit is that by his numerous editions of early French poems he continued the
work
  begun by Dominique Meon in arousing general
interest
  in the then little-known epics of
chivalry
 . Admitted to the Academie des
Inscriptions
  et Belles Lettres in 1837, he was shortly afterwards appointed on the commission entrusted with the continuation of the Histoire litteraire de la France. In 1853 a chair of medieval literature was founded at the College de France, and Paulin Paris became the first occupant. He retired in 1872 with the title of honorary professor, and was promoted officer of the Legion of Honour in the next year. He died on the 13th of February 188' in Paris.
His works include: Manuscrits francais de la bibliothbque du roi (7 vols., 1836-1848); Li Romans di Garin le Loherain, precede d'un examen des romans carlovingiens (18831885) ; Li Romans de Berte ;ux grans pies (1832); Le Romancero frangais, histoire de quelquesanciens trouveres et choix de leurs chansons (1833) ; an edition of the Grandes chroniques de France (1836-184o): La Chanson d'Antioche (1848); Les Aventures de maitre Renart et d'Ysengrin (1861) and Les Romans de la table ronde (1868-1877), both put into modern French.
His son Gaston Paris contributed a biographical notice to vol. xxix. of the Histoire litteraire.
