Biography
André Chastagnol (21 February 1920 – 2 September 1996) was a 20th-century French historian, specializing in Latin epigraphy and literature.
After teaching at the universities of Algiers, Rennes and Paris X-Nanterre, he finished his career as a professor at the Paris-Sorbonne University. His two theses were devoted to the Praefectus urbi. He succeeded Hans-Georg Pflaum at the head of the Latin epigraphy seminar of the École pratique des hautes études where Michel Christol, Xavier Loriot, François Jacques, etc. were among his students
His various works on the Lower Roman Empire and Late Antiquity are authoritative. He was long interested in the Augustan History, of which he provided translation and helped to improve the study. His large personal library, bequeathed to the Sorbonne, is now incorporated into the Bibliothèque Serpente.
