JULES See also:ETIENNE See also:JOSEPH See also:QUICHERAT (1814-1882)
, See also:French historian and archaeologist, was of Burgundian origin
.
His See also:father, a working See also:cabinet-maker, came from Paray le Monial to See also:Paris to support his large See also:family; See also:Quicherat was See also:born there on the 13th of See also:October 1814
.
He was fifteen years younger than his See also:brother See also:- LOUIS
- LOUIS (804–876)
- LOUIS (893–911)
- LOUIS, JOSEPH DOMINIQUE, BARON (1755-1837)
- LOUIS, or LEWIS (from the Frankish Chlodowich, Chlodwig, Latinized as Chlodowius, Lodhuwicus, Lodhuvicus, whence-in the Strassburg oath of 842-0. Fr. Lodhuwigs, then Chlovis, Loys and later Louis, whence Span. Luiz and—through the Angevin kings—Hungarian
Louis, a See also:great Latin See also:scholar and lexicographer, who survived him
.
Although very poor, he was admitted to the See also:college of Sainte-Barbe, where he received a thorough classical See also:education
.
He showed his gratitude to this See also:establishment by See also:writing its See also:history (Histoire de Sainte-Barbe, college, com-
munaute, institution, 3 vols
.
186o-1864)
.
At the end of his studies he hesitated for some See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)
- TIME, MEASUREMENT OF
- TIME, STANDARD
time before deciding what career he would follow, until See also:Michelet put an end to his indecision by inspiring him with a See also:taste for history
.
In 1835 Quicherat entered the Ecole See also:des Chartes; he See also:left two years later at the See also:head of the college
.
Once more inspired by the example of Michelet, who had just written an admirable See also:work on See also:Joan of Arc (q.v.), he published the See also:text of the two trials of Joan, adding much contemporary See also:evidence on her heroism in his Prods de condamnation et de rehabilitation de Jeanne d'Arc (s vols
.
1841-1849), as well as See also:half a See also:volume of Apercus nouveaux sur l'histoire de Jeanne d'Arc, in which it seems that the last word has been said on important points
.
From the 15th See also:century he See also:drew other inspirations
.
He published See also:memoirs of the adventures of a brigand, Rodrigue de Villandrando (1844), which gradually See also:grew into a volume (1877), full of fresh See also:matter
.
He wrote full See also:biographies of two chroniclers of Louis XI., one very obscure, See also:Jean See also:Castel (in the Bibliotheque de l'Ecole des Chartes, 1840), the other, See also:- THOMAS
- THOMAS (c. 1654-1720)
- THOMAS (d. 110o)
- THOMAS, ARTHUR GORING (1850-1892)
- THOMAS, CHARLES LOUIS AMBROISE (1811-1896)
- THOMAS, GEORGE (c. 1756-1802)
- THOMAS, GEORGE HENRY (1816-187o)
- THOMAS, ISAIAH (1749-1831)
- THOMAS, PIERRE (1634-1698)
- THOMAS, SIDNEY GILCHRIST (1850-1885)
- THOMAS, ST
- THOMAS, THEODORE (1835-1905)
- THOMAS, WILLIAM (d. 1554)
Thomas See also:Basin, See also:bishop of See also:Lisieux, who was, on the contrary, a remark-able politician, See also:prelate and chronicler
.
Quicherat published the See also:works of the latter, most of which were now brought out for the first time (4 vols
.
1855-1859)
.
In addition to these he wrote Fragments inedits de Georges See also:Chastellain (1842), Lettres, me-moires et autres documents relatifs d la guerre du bien public en 1465 (1843, in vol. ii. of Melanges historiques, See also:part of Documents inedits), &c
.
These works did not wholly occupy his time: in 1847 he inaugurated a course of archaeological lectures at the Ecole des Chartes, and in 1849 was appointed See also:professor of See also:diplomacy at the same college
.
His teaching had exceptionally See also:good results
.
Although he was not eloquent and had a nasal
See also:voice, his hearers were loth to See also:miss any of his thoughtful teaching, which was unbiased and well expressed
.
Of his lectures the public saw only some articles on See also:special subjects which were distributed in a number of reviews
.
See also:Note should be made of a See also:short See also:treatise on La Formation francaise des anciens noms de lieu (1867); a memoir De l'See also:ogive et de l'See also:architecture See also:dice ogivale (185o), where he gives his theory on the use of See also:- STONE
- STONE (0. Eng. shin; the word is common to Teutonic languages, cf. Ger. Stein, Du. steen, Dan. and Swed. sten; the root is also seen in Gr. aria, pebble)
- STONE, CHARLES POMEROY (1824-1887)
- STONE, EDWARD JAMES (1831-1897)
- STONE, FRANK (1800-1859)
- STONE, GEORGE (1708—1764)
- STONE, LUCY [BLACKWELL] (1818-1893)
- STONE, MARCUS (184o— )
- STONE, NICHOLAS (1586-1647)
stone See also:arches—important for the history of religious architecture; an See also:article on L'See also:Age de la cathedrale de See also:Laon (1874), in which he fixed the exact date of the See also:birth of See also:Gothic architecture; Histoire du See also:costume en See also:France (1875; 2nd ed
.
1877), which was first published in the See also:form of See also:anonymous articles in the Magasin pittoresque, and which the author wished to retain the See also:character of a popular work
.
Following the See also:advice of his See also:friends, he began to write out, towards the end of his See also:life, his lectures on See also:archaeology, but only the See also:introductory chapters, up to the Ilth century, were found among his papers
.
On the other See also:hand, the pupils trained by him circulated his principles throughout France, recognizing him as the founder of See also:national archaeology
.
In one point he seems to have taken a false step; with a warmth and pertinacity worthy of a better cause he maintained the identity of See also:Caesar's See also:Alesia with Alaise (See also:Doubs), and he died without becoming a convert to the See also:opinion, now universally accepted, that Alise Sainte-Reine (Cote d'or) is the See also:place where Vercingetorix capitulated
.
But even this See also:error benefited See also:science; some well directed excavations at Alaise brought many See also:Roman remains to See also:light, which were subsequently sent to enrich the museum at See also:Besancon
.
After 1871, his course of lectures on diplomacy having been given up, Quicherat, still professor of archaeology, was nominated director of the Ecole des Chartes
.
He filled this See also:post with the same See also:energy which he had shown in the many scientific commissions in which he had taken part
.
In 1878 he gave up his duties as professor, which then See also:fell to the most conspicuous of his pupils, See also:Robert de Lasteyrie
.
He died suddenly at Paris on the 8th of See also:April 1882, a short time after having corrected the proofs of Supplement aux temoignages contemporains de Jeanne d'Arc, published in the Revue historique
.
After his See also:death it was decided to bring out his hitherto unpublished papers (Melanges d'archeologie et d'histoire, vol. i., See also:Celtic, Roman and Gallo-Roman antiquities, ed
