JOÜON, PAUL. - Jesuit Semitist, b. at Nantes on 26 Feb. 1871, d. there on 18 Feb. 1940.

Professor of Hebrew language at St. Joseph's University in Beirut (1907-14), then at the Pontifical Biblical Institute in Rome (1915-26), he left important works: besides a Grammaire de l'hébreu biblique (Rome 1923, new ed. 1947), which is an authority, mention should be made of a commentary on the Song of Songs (Paris 1909), an annotated translation of the Gospels based on the Semitic substratum (in Verbum salutis, V, Paris 1930) and principally, perhaps, the very numerous notes on Arabic, Aramaic, Hebrew and biblical Greek lexicography that appeared in Mélanges de l'Université St-Joseph, 3-18 (1908 onwards), in Biblica, 1-23 (1920-42) and in Recherches de science religieuse, 15-30 (1925-40).
