Victor Langlois, a French orientalist, born in Dieppe, March 20, 1829, died May 14, 1869. He explored Cilicia and Little Armenia in 1852-'3, and the terra cotta figures which he had found in his excavations in the necropolis of Tarsus were exhibited in the Louvre. He discovered more than 80 new Greek inscriptions, and published the results of his researches in four works (1854-61). In 1857 and in 1861 he went to Italy in search of historical data as to the relations between France and Armenia during the crusades. His other works relate to Egyptian and Georgian numismatics (1852), and to the convent of St. Lazarus and the Mekhitarist congregation, with an outline of Armenian history and literature (1862). In 1867 appeared his Le mont Athos et ses mona's-teres, with a photolithographic reproduction of the geography of Ptolemy, of which the Greek manuscript of the 17th century is preserved in that monastery. The first volume of his Collection des historiens anciens et mo-dernes de l'Armenie, a translation from the Armenian, was published in 1868, under the auspices of the Egyptian prime minister Nubar Pasha, but he did not live to complete the work.
