Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RAY-RHU
REINAUD, JOSEPH TOUSSAINT (1795-1867) , French orientalist, was born on the 4th of December 1795 at Lambesc, Bouches du Rhone. He came to Paris in 1815, and became a
pupil
  of Silvestre de Sacy. In' 1818-19 he was at Rome as an attache to the French minister, and studied under the Maronites of the Propaganda, but gave
special
  attention to
Mahommedan
  coins. In 1824 he entered the department of oriental MSS. in the Royal Library at Paris, and in 1838, on the death of De Sacy, he succeeded to his chair in the school of living oriental languages. In 1847 he became president of the Societe Asiatique, and in 1858 conservator of oriental MSS. in the Imperial Library. His first important
work
  was his classical description of the collections of the duc de Blacas (1828). To history he contributed an
essay
  on the Arab invasions of France, Savoy, Piedmont and Switzerland (1836), and various collections for the period of the crusades; he edited (1840) and in
part
  translated (1848) the geography of Abulfeda; to him too is due a useful edition of the very curious records of early Arab intercourse with
China
  of which Eusebe Renaudot had given but an imperfect
translation
  (Relation des voyages, &c., 1845), and various other essays illustrating the ancient and medieval geography of the
East
 .
Reinaud
  died in Paris on the 14th of May 1867.
