Aegidius Fauteux (27 September 1876 - 22 April 1941) was a journalist, librarian and historian. He was designated a Person of National Historic Significance by the Canadian Government in 1955.〔(Fauteux, Ægidius National Historic Person )〕 Rue Aegidius-Fauteux in Montreal is named after him. ==Biography== Aegidius Fauteux was born on 27 September 1876 to Hercule Fauteux and Exilda Dagenais. He completed a classical education at the Collège de Montréal. Fauteux felt a calling to the priesthood so he studied theology at the Grand Séminaire de Montréal between the years of 1887-1893.〔(14.

He was called to the bar in July 1903, but never practised.〔(Fonds Aegidius Fauteux - Archives de Montréal - Montréal )〕 In 1902, he founded the newspaper ''Le Rappel''. He remained its publisher until 1904. In 1905, he became parliamentary correspondent for the Quebec newspaper ''La Patrie'' until 1909. His last encounter with journalism was being the editor-in-chief to the newspaper ''La Presse'' from 1909 to 1912. In 1911, he married Antonia Chevrier. In 1912, he began working at the Bibliothèque St. Sulpice, Montreal. The Great Depression caused the closure of the library in 1931, but Fauteux was hired by the city and worked as a librarian until his death in 1941.〔(Fauteux, Aegidius - Québec )〕 In 1937, he was the director and co-founder of the École de bibliothéconomie de l’Université de Montréal. Fauteux died a widower in Montréal on 22 April 1941, leaving an adopted daughter, Marie-Laure. During his life he produced six volumes of literary works and a dozen of critical editions. He wrote several bibliographies, conferences, studies and blogs.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aegidius Fauteux」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
