François Just Marie Raynouard〔For "Just", as opposed to "Juste", see: (François Just Marie Raynouard birth certificate in 1761 ) and (''Fiche biographique de l'Assemblée nationale'' (biography from the National Assembly of France). )〕 (18 September 1761 – 27 October 1836)〔(François Just Marie Raynouard birth certificate in 1761. )〕 was a French dramatist and linguist. Raynouard was born at Brignoles in Provence, trained for the bar, and practiced at Draguignan. In 1791 he represented the department of Var in the Legislative Assembly,〔Joseph Savarelli, ''Les administrateurs du département du Var, 1790-1897 : notices biographiques'', Éditions Olivier-Joulian, 1897.〕 but after the fall of his party, the Girondists, he went into hiding. Discovered and imprisoned in Paris, he wrote his play ''Caton d'Utique'' (1794) during his imprisonment. In 1803 he won the Institut de France's poetry prize. ''Éléonore de Bavière'' and ''Les Templiers'' were accepted by the Comédie-Française. ''Les Templiers'' was produced in 1805, and, over the opposition of Geoffroy, was a great success. Elected to the Académie française in 1807, elected to the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres in 1816, Raynouard was admitted ''secrétaire perpétuel'' of the Académie française in 1817.〔Tyrtée Taster, ''Histoire des quarante fauteuils de l'Académie française'', Éditions Lacroix, 1855.〕 From 1806 to 1814 he represented the department of Var in the Corps législatif. Raynouard wrote other plays, one of which, ''Les États de Blois'' (acted 1810), offended Napoleon by its freedom of speech. Realizing that the public taste had changed and that Romanticism would triumph, Raynouard abandoned the stage and devoted himself to linguistic studies. His researches into the Provençal language were somewhat inaccurate, but his enthusiasm and perseverance promoted the study of the subject. Raynouard is sometimes called the founder of Romance linguistics, although his work was marked by a fundamental misconception: he believed that the Romance languages had derived from a common post-Latin language, which he called ''le roman'', and not directly from Latin, as is in fact the case.〔Iordan-Orr, ''An Introduction to Romance Linguistics: Its Schools and Scholars'', revised by R. Posner (Oxford: Basil Blackwell, 1970), pp. 6-8.〕 Raynouard's chief works are ''Choix de poésies originales des troubadours'' (6 vols., 1816–1821), of which the sixth volume, ''Grammaire comparée des langues de l'Europe latine, dans leurs rapports avec la langue des troubadours'' (1821), was separately published; ''Lexique roman ou dictionnaire de la langue des troubadours comparée avec les autres langues de l'Europe latine'' (6 vols., 1838–1844). He spent the last years of his life at Passy. Raynouard was Officer of the Legion of Honour. In the 16th arrondissement of Paris, a street and a square have been named after him.〔Auguste Doniol, ''Histoire du XVIe arrondissement'' de Paris, Éditions Hachette, 1902.〕 In Brignoles, a monument pays tribute to him near the house he was born in, and the secondary school (''lycée'') and a boulevard have been named after him. ==References== Notes Sources 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「François Just Marie Raynouard」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
