Roch-Ambroise Cucurron Sicard (20 September 1742 - 10 May 1822) was a French abbé and instructor of the deaf. Born at Le Fousseret, in the ancient Province of Languedoc (now the Department of Haute-Garonne), and educated as a priest, Sicard was made principal of a school for the deaf at Bordeaux in 1786, and in 1789, on the death of the Abbé de l'Épée, succeeded him at a leading school for the deaf which Épée had founded in Paris. He later met Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet while traveling in England,〔Gannon, Jack. 1981. ''Deaf Heritage–A Narrative History of Deaf America'', Silver Spring, MD: National Association of the Deaf, p. xx ((PDF ))〕 and invited him to visit the school. Sicard's chief works were his ''Eléments de grammaire générale'' (1799), ''Cours d'instruction d'un sourd-muet de naissance'' (1800) and ''Traité des signes pour l'instruction des sourds-muets'' (1808). The Abbé Sicard managed to escape any serious harm in the political troubles of 1792, and became a member of the Institute in 1795, but the value of his educational work was hardly recognized till shortly before his death at Paris. In 1803 Sicard became a member of the Académie française, occupying Seat 3 as the successor to the François-Joachim de Pierre de Bernis, who was a diplomat. ==See also== * Roch-Ambroise Auguste Bébian 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「Roch-Ambroise Cucurron Sicard」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
