Émile Duployé
Émile Duployé [ eˈmil dyplwaˈje ] (born September 10, 1833 in Liesse-Notre-Dame , Département Aisne , † May 9, 1912 in Saint-Maur-des-Fossés , today Département Val-de-Marne ) was a French clergyman, educator and the inventor of a French shorthand system .
Life
Duployé dealt extensively with the shorthand during his student days and afterwards as a clergyman and teacher. After successfully completing his studies, Duployé got a job as a clergyman in the Sincery community . In the years between 1860 and 1867 he developed his system of shorthand, partly together with his brother Gustave .
This was structured logically and worked on a purely phonetic basis. This "Duployé system" managed without any cuts and was actually a further development of the work of Aimé Paris . Duployé was only partially satisfied with this and over time expanded his system to include the work of Tourault . As early as 1860 Duployé was able to publish his first textbook (Sténographie Duployé).
In 1872 Duployé resigned from all his offices and settled in Paris . There he founded the Institute sténographique des Deux-Mondes . This facility had its own printing facility and now allowed him to publish his works in a very inexpensive way. In addition to several newspapers and textbooks, the Bibliothèque sténographique was created over the next few years , in which works of fiction were published in shorthand.
Through his work at the Institut sténographique , Duployé was able to spread his system throughout France in just a few years. Other French-speaking countries later adopted this type of shorthand. Already during Duployé's lifetime, over twenty newspapers and magazines were published in France in shorthand according to the Duployé system .
At the age of 79, Émile Duployé died on May 9, 1912 in Saint-Maur-des-Fossés, Val-de-Marne.
The Duployé system is strictly logically structured, but its aesthetics are very poor, as Duployé placed no value on typeface or handwriting. Similar to Isaac Pitman's system , it had the unbeatable advantage of being very easy to learn. In addition to the French-speaking area, Duployé also conquered the English , Spanish and German languages. In the latter, among others, Jean Joseph Weiler excelled as a teacher and translator.
