Marius Canard (Dracy-Saint-Loup, 26 December 1888 – Paris, September 1982) was a French Orientalist and historian. == Biography == He was born in a small village in the region of Morvan, where his father was a school teacher. Canard studied at the ''Collège Bonaparte'' in Autun and completed his studies in the Faculty of Letters of the University of Lyon, where he learned the Arabic, Turkish and Persian languages under the guidance of his coeval Gaston Wiet (1887–1971). His first teaching post was as a high school professor at Toulon in 1913. During the First World War, he served with the 16th Chasseurs à cheval Regiment stationed at Beaune, and was decorated with the ''Croix de Guerre'' with a silver star. After the war, he went to Morocco, where he perfected his knowledge of Arabic. In 1920 he returned to Lyon, where he taught in the ''Lycée du Parc''. In order to further his language skills, he re-entered the local university's Faculty of Letters to learn Sanskrit. Canard then visited the ''École des Langues Orientales'' (now known as INALCO) in Paris, where he came to know both William Marçais (1872–1956), and Georges Marçais (1876–1962). The latter convinced Canard to return to the Maghreb, first as a teacher in the ''Lycée de Tunis'' and then as a professor in the Faculty of Letters of the University of Algiers. It was there that Canard, along with Georges Marçais, founded the ''Institut d'Études Orientales'' and began a journal that soon acquired international prominence among Orientalists: the ''Annales''. After 44 years of teaching in Algiers, Canard retired in 1961 to Paris, where he died in 1982. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marius Canard」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
