Pierre Jouguet (14 May 1869 – 9 July 1949)[1] was a French Egyptologist and classical philologist. In 1890 he studied at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris, obtaining his agrégation for grammar in 1893.[2] For three years thereafter he was associated with the École française d’Athènes,[3] followed by work at the Institut Français d'Archéologie Orientale in Cairo (1896–97). From 1898 to 1910, he was a lecturer of grammar and philology at the Faculty of Arts in Lille.[4] On 8 June 1911 he received his doctorate of letters at the Sorbonne, subsequently serving as a professor of ancient history and papyrology in Lille (1911–1914 and 1918–1920).[5][6] From 1920 to 1933, he was a professor of papyrology at the Sorbonne, meanwhile serving as director of the Institut Français d'Archéologie Orientale (1928-1940). From 1937 to 1949, he was a professor at Fouad I University in Cairo.[5][6]
During his earlier years spent in Egypt (1896–97, 1900), he translated numerous Greek papyri and participated at the excavatory site at Ghorân.[5] In 1901–02 at Fayoum, he discovered a small Hellenistic necropolis.[6] In 1904, at Lille, he founded the Institut de Papyrologie.[7] He was also founder of the Société royale égyptienne de Papyrologie and co-founder of the Société française d’Égyptologie and the Institut international de Recherches hellénistiques.[5]
