Jean Franois Boissonade De FontarabieJean Franois Boissonade de Fontarabie (August 12, 1774 - September 8, 1857), was a French classical scholar. He was born at Paris. In 1792 he entered the public service during the administration of General Dumouriez. Driven out in 1795, he was restored by Lucien Bonaparte, during whose time of office he served as secretary to the prefecture of the Upper Marne. He then resigned public employment permanently, in order to devote his time to the study of Greek. In 1809 he was appointed deputy professor of Greek at the faculty of letters at Paris, and titular professor in 1813 on the death of PH Larcher. In 1828 he succeeded Jean-Baptiste Gail in the chair of Greek at the Collge de France. He also held the offices of librarian of the Bibliothque du Roi, and perpetual secretary of the Acadmie des Inscriptions. Boissonade chiefly devoted his attention to later Greek literature: The Anecdota Graeca (1829-1833) and Anecdota Nova (1844) are important for Byzantine history and the Greek grammarians. A selection of his papers was published by F Colincamp, Critique littraire sous le premier Empire (1863), vol. i. of which contains a complete list of his works, and a "Notice Historique sur Monsieur B." by Naudet.
