Pierre Amédée Emilien Probe Jaubert (3 June 1779 – 28 January 1847) was a French diplomat, academic, orientalist, translator, politician, and traveler. He was Napoleon's "favourite orientalist adviser and dragoman".〔(''Friends and rivals in the East'' by Alastair Hamilton p.230''ff'' )〕 ==Biography== Born in Aix-en-Provence, Jaubert was one of the most distinguished pupils of Silvestre de Sacy, whose funeral ''Discours'' he gave in 1838. Jaubert acted as interpreter to Napoleon Bonaparte during the Egyptian Campaign of 1798-1799,〔 in which he was a member of the Egyptian Institute of Sciences and Arts. On his return to Paris held various posts in the government. In 1802 he accompanied Horace Sébastiani de La Porta on his Eastern mission, and in 1804 he was present in the Ottoman Empire, assisting Sébastiani in Istanbul. In 1805, he was dispatched to Qajar Persia in the "Jaubert Mission",〔''Napoleon and Persia: Franco-Persian relations under the First Empire'' by Iradj Amini p.76''ff'' ()〕 to arrange an alliance with Shah Fat′h Ali, but on the way there he was seized and imprisoned in a dry cistern for four months by the Pasha of Doğubeyazıt. Jaubert was allowed to go after the pasha died; he successfully accomplished his mission, and rejoined Napoleon in the Duchy of Warsaw (1807). Amédée Jaubert was at Finckenstein Palace for the negotiation of the Treaty of Finckenstein which formulised the Franco-Persian alliance on 27 April 1807.〔''Napoleon and Persia: Franco-Persian relations under the First Empire'' by Iradj Amini p.101''ff'' ()〕 In 1809 he became correspondent of the Royal Institute of the Netherlands. On the eve of Napoleon's downfall, he was appointed ''chargé d'affaires'' at Constantinople. The Bourbon Restoration ended his diplomatic career, but in 1818 he undertook a journey with government aid to Tibet, from whence he succeeded in introducing into France 400 Kashmir goats. Jaubert spent the rest of his life in study, in writing and in teaching. He became professor of Persian in the ''Collège de France'', and director of the ''École des langues orientales'', and in 1830 was elected member of the ''Académie des Inscriptions''. In 1841 he was made a Peer of France and member of the ''Conseil d'État''. He died in Paris. Besides articles in the ''Journal Asiatique'', he published ''Voyage en Arménie et en Perse'' (1821; the edition of 1860 has a notice of Jaubert, by M. Sdillot) and ''Elements de la grammaire turque'' (1823–1834). 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「Pierre Amédée Jaubert」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
