Édouard Jacottet
Died in 1920
Édouard Jacottet was born in Neuchâtel in 1858. Ordained as a pastor in 1882 for the Paris Evangelical Missionary Society, he left in 1884 for Lesotho, where he served until his death, notably at Thaba-Bossiou. A linguist as much as a missionary, he published an outline of Sesotho grammar, a Sesotho-English vocabulary, a practical method for learning the language and a grammar in Sesotho, as well as studies on the languages of the upper Zambezi. He died at Morija in 1920.
