Camille Chabaneau

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Camille Chabaneau (born March 4, 1831 in Nontron , † July 21, 1908 ibid) was a French Romanist and Provençalist .

life and work

Chabaneau was a post office worker and self-taught private scholar in Angoulême when, at the age of 37, he went public with his writing Histoire et théorie de la conjugaison française (Paris 1868) and caused a sensation among scholars. Ten years later he was given a chair in Romance Philology at the University of Montpellier , which he held for 25 years. In the magazine Revue des langues romanes he published numerous old Provencal texts. The Académie der inscriptions et belles-lettres elected him in 1886 as a corresponding member. Shortly before his death, the German Romance Studies (leading in ancient Provencal Studies) honored him with a monumental festschrift with French and pan-European participation, 7 years before the outbreak of the First World War.
