Pelliot - Paul Pelliot

The world's greatest orientalist born in France. Born in Paris, he graduated from the School of Oriental Languages. At the age of 21, he joined the Indochina Archaeological Survey (the predecessor of the Ecole francois d'Extrédence), and after studying in China, he became a professor at the Ecole francois d'Extrédence in Hanoi in 1901. In 1911, at the young age of 33, he became a professor at the Collège de France, and from 1923, he was involved in the editing of the oriental studies journal T'oung Pao (Message), leading the academic world. His field of study inherited and developed the tradition of sinology (Sinology, Sinology) as a modern academic field established by Professor Abel Remusat of the Ecole francois d'Extrédence, but also went beyond it. In other words, he established a monumental achievement in the history and linguistics of Central Asia before it became Turkestan, Turkish-Mongolian studies including Altaic linguistics, and the history of East-West relations during the Mongol Empire period, and even extended into Tibetan studies and Southeast Asian studies. A decisive role in the formation of his academic studies was played by the Central Asian expedition which he carried out from 1906 to 1909 on behalf of the French academic community. The experiences gained from his survey of the region and the wide variety of artifacts and documents recovered from the Northern Route of the Western Regions and Dunhuang became his lifelong academic assets. His documents are currently housed at the National Library of Paris, and his artifacts at the Guimet Museum. He wrote many books and papers, including "The Hall of a Thousand Buddhas at Dunhuang."

フランスが生んだ世界最大の東洋学者。パリに生まれ、東洋語学校などを卒業。21歳でインドシナ古跡調査部(フランス極東学院の前身)に入る。中国留学後、1901年からハノイのフランス極東学院教授。11年に33歳の若さでフランス学院(コレージュ・ド・フランス)の教授となり、23年からは東洋学雑誌T'oung Pao(通報)の編集にも携わって学界をリードした。その学問の領域はフランス学院の教授アベル・レミュザによって基礎づけられた近代的な学問としてのシノロジーsinology(中国学、シナ学)の伝統を継承、発展させつつも、それを超えた。すなわちトルキスタン化する以前の中央アジアの歴史学・言語学、アルタイ言語学を含むトルコ・モンゴル学、モンゴル帝国時代の東西交渉史学のうえに一大金字塔を打ち建て、さらにはチベット学、東南アジア学にまで及んだ。このような彼の学問形成に決定的役割を果たしたのは、1906年から09年にかけてフランスの学界を代表する形で行われた中央アジア探検である。そのときの原地調査の経験と、西域北道および敦煌(とんこう)から将来された多種多様の遺物と文書は、彼の生涯を通じての学問的財産となった。現在、彼の将来した文書類はパリ国立図書館に、遺物類はギメ美術館に所蔵されている。『敦煌千仏堂』ほか、著書、論文が多くある。
