Victor Duret
Victor Duret (born January 31, 1830 in Onex ; † November 12, 1890 ibid) was a Swiss Romance philologist and dialectologist.
life and work
Duret was a student of Gaspard Mermillod and in Geneva of Albert Richard d'Orbe (1801-1881). After completing his studies, he was a high school teacher in southern France and Annecy , as well as tutor of Archduke Rudolf in Vienna, as well as of the later King Alfonso XII. in genf.
In the south of France, Duret made contact with the members of the Félibrige , namely Joseph Roumanille , who sensitized him to the regional languages and aroused his scientific interest in the dialect of his homeland. Duret left a dialect grammar of the Savoyard variant of Franco-Provençal , which was edited and edited by Eduard Koschwitz .
A street in Onex is named after him.
