Wikipedia, March 10, 2023 (Louis-Nicolas Bescherelle (10 June 1802, in Paris-4 February 1883, in Paris) was a French lexicographer and grammarian; With help from his brother Henri (1804-1887), he wrote Le Véritable Manuel des conjugaisons ou la science des conjugaisons mise à la portée de tout le monde, a reference guide to French verb conjugation, in 1842; working alone, he followed up six years later with L'Art de conjuguer, ou Simples modèles de conjugaisons pour tous les verbes de la langue française; this covered much the same ground as Le Véritable Manuel, but with a simpler and clearer presentation: 215 model conjugations set out in table form, followed by an alphabetical list of around 6,500 verbs keyed to the models; L'Art de conjuguer became the staple for students of French, the book became so important that his last name is used as a noun to refer to any French conjugation book ("a Bescherelle"))
