Claude Savary was an 18th-century French orientalist and a leading provider of Egyptology, though today he is most-known for his translation of the Qu’ran. In addition to the Qu’ran itself, he translated the writings of Mahomet and the maxims within the Qu’ran, adding his own commentary and notes.

 

Savary also wrote a large collection of letters while he was traveling in Egypt. ‘Lettres sur l’Egypte’ gives an account of his journey and the last devoted solely to the study of Egyptian religion, mythology, and paganism based on Arabic texts. Each of the letters, which are addressed to his friend Lemonnier, were extremely popular and were met with high praise and acclaim by periodicals and critics.

    • John Jamieson, 1800
      • Possibly John Jamieson (1759–1838), a Scottish minister of religion, lexicographer, philologist, and antiquary. His most important work is the Etymological Dictionary of the Scottish Language, which is largely credited with preventing the decline or extinction of the language. The union of the Burgher and Anti-Burgher “New Licht” churches to form the United Secession Church in 1820 was largely due to his exertions. Jamieson was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1803, and a member of the American Antiquarian Society in 1816. He was also a friend of Scottish poet Sir Walter Scott and was elected a member of the Bannatyne Club.
