Jean-Antoine Letronne, (1787-1848) and died there on December 14, 1848, was a French Hellenist philologist, epigraphist, and archaeologist. He is recognized as "le véritable fondateur des études modernes d'épigraphie classique", having been the first to clearly formulate the discipline's fundamental methodological principles—insisting on the need to consider all inscriptions, even the most modest, and clearly defining the rules for reconstructing fragmentary texts.
