Etienne Quatremère (1872-1857), a leading French Orientalist of the 19th century contributed many major studies on the Semitic people and languages. He was occupied for more than sixty years in the studies of geography and history of the Semites. He studied Hebrew, and Silvester de Sacy taught him Arabic. After working in the manuscript department at the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, Quatremere taught Hebrew, Syriac and Caldian at the Collége de France at the beginning of 1891. This is the first French translation of al-Makrizi?s Kitab al-Suluk Fi Ma?rifat Duwal al-Muluk.
