Edmond Faral (18 March 1882 – 8 February 1958) was an Algerian-born French medievalist. He became in 1924 Professor of Latin literature at the Collège de France. He wrote his dissertation on the jongleurs, and E. R. Curtius states that he was the first to recognize an influence of the medieval Latin poetics and rhetoric on Old French poetry. He was appointed to the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres in 1936. Source: Wikipedia (en)
