Arnauld de Oihenart (1592–1668) was a Basque historian and poet. Born at Mauléon, he studied law at Bordeaux, where he took his degree in 1612. He practised with Jeanne d'Erdoy, the heiress of a noble family of Saint-Palais, at the bar of the parlement of Navarre. He spent his leisure and his fortune in the search for documents bearing on the old Basque and Béarnese provinces; and the fruits of his studies in the archives of Bayonne, Toulouse, Pau, Périgord and other cities were embodied in forty-five manuscript volumes, which were sent by his son Gabriel to Colbert. Twenty of these are in the Bibliothèque Nationale of Paris (Coll. Duchesne). Oihenart published in 1625 a ''Déclaration historique de l'injuste usurpation et retention de la Navarre par les Espagnols'' and a fragment of a Latin work on the same subject is included in Auguste Galland's ''Mémoires pour l'histoire de Navarre'' (1648). His most important work is ''Notitia utriusque Vasconiae, tum Ibericae, tum Aquitanicae, qua praeter situm regions et alia scitu digna'' (1638 and 1656), a description of Gascony and Navarre. His collection of 537 Basque proverbs or adages, ''Atsotizac edo Refravac'', included in a volume of his poems ''Gastroa Nevrthizetan'', printed in Paris in 1657 under the French title ''Les Proverbes Basques Recueillis Par Le Sr D’Oihenart, Plus Les Poesies Basques du mesme Auteur'', was supplemented by a second collection, ''Atizen Venquina''. The proverbs were edited by Francisque Xavier Michel (1847), and the supplement by P. Hariston (1892) and by V. Stempf (1894). See Julien Vinson, ''Essai d'une bibliographie de la langue basque'' (Paris, 1891); J. B. E. de Jaurgain, ''Arnaud d'Oihenart et sa famille'' (Paris, 1885). ==References== * 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「Arnauld de Oihenart」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
