Pierre-Joseph-Marie Chaumonot
Pierre-Joseph-Marie Chaumonot was a French priest and Jesuit missionary who learned and documented the language of the Wyandot people, also known as the Huron. A series of anonymous manuscript dictionaries of French and Indigenous languages, now preserved at the Musée de la civilisation and the John Carter Brown Library, are traditionally attributed to Chaumonot. He studied at the Jesuits’ noviciate in Florence and, after three more years of training, came to Canada in 1639.
