Jean-Barthélemy Hauréau

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jean-Barthélemy Hauréau (born November 9, 1812 in Paris , † April 29, 1896 in Paris) was a French historian and publicist .

After he had barely left the Lycée Louis-le-Grand , Hauréau published the political paper on the mountain party (Montagnards) , La montagne (1832), which aroused violent opposition and was later condemned by himself. After a wide range of journalistic activities, he became curator of French manuscripts at the National Library and a member of the Constituent Assembly as a result of the February Revolution .

In 1845 Hauréau won the prize of the Académie des sciences morales et politiques for a presentation of the history of scholastic philosophy ( De la histoire de la philosophie scolastique. 2 vols. Paris 1850) This book, however, caused various misunderstandings. In his republican exuberance, Hauréau mistook Thierry of Chartres , whom he sympathized with, for a free-thinking pantheist and confused Bernardus Silvestris with Bernhard of Chartres .

After the coup of Napoléon III. on December 2, 1851, he gave up his position as curator at the National Library. In 1861 he was appointed librarian at the Paris Bar Association, and in September 1870 director of the National Printing House, where he worked until 1882. Hauréau was a member of the Académie des inscriptions et belles-lettres since 1862 and commander of the Legion of Honor since 1878 .
