Joachim Menant (16 April 1820–30 August 1899) was a French magistrate and orientalist. He was born at Cherbourg. He studied law and became vice-president of the civil tribunal of Rouen in 1878, and a member of the appeals court three years later. But he became best known by his studies on cuneiform inscriptions. Among his many works on Assyriology are: * ''Recueil d'alphabets des écritures cunéiformes'' (1860) * ''Exposé des éléments de la grammaire assyrienne'' (1868) * ''Le Syllabaire assyrien'' (2 vols., 1869-1873) * ''Les Langues perdues de la Perse et de l'Assyrie'' (2 vols., 1885–1886) * ''Les Pierres gravées de la Haute-Asie'' (2 vols., 1883–1886) He also collaborated with Julius Oppert. He was admitted to the Academy of Inscriptions in 1887, and died in Paris two years later. His daughter Delphine (b. 1850) received a prize from the Académie française for her ''Les Parsis, histoire des communautés zoroastriennes de l'Inde'' (1898), and was sent in 1900–1901 to British India on a scientific mission, of which she published a report in 1903. == 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「Joachim Menant」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
