François Noël (humanist)
François-Joseph-Michel Noël (born January 12, 1756 in Saint-Germain-en-Laye , † January 29, 1841 in Paris ) was a French educator, grammarian, Latinist and Romanist .
life and work
Noël was a teacher at the Lycée Louis-le-Grand in Paris, but then turned himself into the service of the revolution as a journalist and diplomat . In 1799 he became a member of the Tribunate, in Lyon General Commissioner of the Police, in 1801 Prefect of the Haut-Rhin department and in 1802 General Inspector of Education. From then on he published practical working tools for school, first a Dictionarium latino-gallicum for Latin lessons . Dictionnaire latin-français ... sur le plan de l'ouvrage intitulé "Magnum totius latinitatis lexicon" de Facciolati (Paris 1807, published until 1864), a Nouveau dictionnaire français latin composé sur le plan du "Dictionnaire latin-français" du même auteur (Paris 1808, published until 1867) and a Gradus ad Parnassum ou Nouveau dictionnaire poétique latin-français fait sur le plan du "Magnum dictionarium poeticum" by P. Vanière (Paris 1810, published until 1911).
The works on French teaching published together with Charles-Pierre Chapsal , the grammar Nouvelle grammaire française by Noël and Chapsal, which had numerous editions from 1823 to 1905 and increasingly replaced the grammar of Lhomond , and three years after the grammar of the Nouveau dictionnaire, became even better known de la langue française (Toul 1826, 21st edition Paris 1872), which was successful due to its compactness and low price.
