Jean Laforgue (11 January 1782, Marciac – 6 November 1852, Dresden) was a French scholar living in Dresden, mainly known for having edited and censored the first edition (known as ''Édition Laforgue'') of Giacomo Casanovas memoirs, Histoire de ma vie. ==Biography== Jean Laforgue was born in Marciac, in the Gers department in southwestern France, on the 11 January 1782. From 1822 to 1827, he was a French language teacher in Dresden Ritter-Akademie (Dresden knight academy). In 1825, he was given the task of preparing the first French edition of Casanova's memoirs by the publisher Friedrich Arnold Brockhaus. His translation is heavily criticized today not only for having made a lot of changes to the original manuscript, but also for its dull literary style. In approximately 1831, Laforgue gave back the manuscript to Brockhaus, without four chapters whose fate remains unknown as of today.〔These lost chapters are chapters 1 to 4 of volume 8 of the Brockhaus-Plon 1960 reference edition〕 After 1831, he resumed giving French lessons at the Dresden Ritter-Akademie. 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「Jean Laforgue」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
