This article appears in Volume V22, Page 724 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PYR-RAY
QUATREMERE, ETIENNE MARC (1782-1857) , French Orientalist, the son of a Parisian merchant, was born in Paris on the 12th of July 1782. Employed in 1807 in the manuscript department of the imperial library, he passed to the chair of Greek in Rouen in 1809, entered the
Academy
  of
Inscriptions
  in 1815, taught Hebrew and Aramaic in the College de France from 1819, and finally in 1827 became professor of Persian in the School of Living Oriental Languages.
Quatremere
 's first
work
  was Recherches . . sur la langue et la litterature de l'Egypte (18o8), showing that the language of ancient Egypt must be sought in Coptic. His translation of Makrizi's Arabic history of the Mameluke sultans (2 vols., 183741) shows his erudition at the best. He published among other works Memoires sur les Nabateens (1835); a translation of Rashid al-Din's Hist. des Mongols de la Perse (1836); Mem. geog. et hist. sur l'Egypte 081o); the text of Ibn Khaldun's Prolegomena; and a vast number of useful memoirs in the Journal asiatique. His numerous reviews in the Journal des savants should also be mentioned.
Quatremere
  made
great
  lexicographic collections in Oriental languages, fragments of which appear in the notes to his various works. His MS. material for Syriac has been utilized in Payne
Smith
 's Thesaurus; of the slips he collected for a projected Arabic, Persian and Turkish lexicon some account is given in the preface to Dozy, Supp. aux dictt. arabes. They are now in the Munich library.
A biographical notice by M.
Barthelemy
  Sainte-Hilaire is prefixed to Quatremere's Melanges d'histoire et de philologie orientale (1861).
