Étienne Hubert d'Orléans (Stephanus Hubertus 1567-1614) was a French physician, Orientalist and diplomat of the 17th century. BiographyBorn in Orléans, he studied medicine there and in Paris (gaining his Bachelor on April 21, 1596) and became interested in Arabic in order to read medical texts written in that language. In 1598, Henri IV sent him to Marrakesh to the Sultan Ahmad al-Mansur to replace Arnoult de Lisle, who had been recalled to Paris. Hubert was a court physician for Moroccan ruler Ahmad al-Mansur in Marrakech from 1598 to 1600.[1] In his position he was able during a year to learn Arabic well.[2] From 1600, Hubert was appointed Royal lecturer in Arabic at the Collège de France, until 1613. The founder of the Chair had been Guillaume Postel, and Hubert succeeded Arnoult de Lisle, who had been his predecessor as physician to the Sultan of Morocco, from 1588 to 1598.[1] He was succeeded in the teaching position by Gabriel Sionita, who was active from 1614 to 1648.[1] While in France in 1611, Hubert was able to meet with the Moroccan envoy Al-Hajari through the introduction of Thomas Erpenius. Hubert offered to help him in his proceeding and to represent him "to all people of authority".[2] Savary de Brèves judged rather negatively of his skills as an Arabist, but he was admired by Thomas Erpenius.[1] He retired to Orléans, where he died on June 20, 1614, aged forty-seven, and was buried in the cloister of the monastery of St. Samson, where his uncle was prior. His epitaph in Hebrew, Arabic, Greek, and Latin was written by his former students. Isaac Casaubon was another famous Arabist of that time, as well as Jean Martin, who would also become professor at the Collège de France,[3] and Abudacnus, an Egyptian Copt from Cairo who gave lessons in Arabic to European linguists.[4]References1. ^1 2 3 [https://books.google.com/books?id=Sl8fniRER4kC&pg=PA28 Eastern wisedome and learning: the study of Arabic in seventeenth-century England by G.
