Eusèbe Renaudot ( July 20, 1646 – September 7, 1720 ) was a French theologian and Orientalist.

Renaudot died in Paris, in 1653.

To him too is due a useful edition of the very curious records of early Arab intercourse with China of which Eusèbe Renaudot had given but an imperfect translation ( Relation des voyages, etc., 1845 ), and various other essays illustrating the ancient and medieval geography of the East.

Assemani, Renaudot, Badger ( Nestorians and their Rituals ), also Denzinger, have the fullest information on this point.

He published Parias ( Parias ), Lunes de Fiel ( adapted to film by Roman Polanski ) and Les voleurs de beauté ( The beauty stealers ) ( Prix Renaudot in 1997 ).

France has the reputation of being a " literary culture ", and this image is reinforced by such things as the importance of French literature in the French educational system, the attention paid by the French media to French book fairs and book prizes ( like the Prix Goncourt, Prix Renaudot or Prix Femina ) and by the popular success of the ( former ) literary television show " Apostrophes " ( hosted by Bernard Pivot ).

Les amitiés particulières is a 1943 novel by French writer Roger Peyrefitte, probably his best known work today, which won the coveted prix Renaudot.

The Prix Théophraste-Renaudot or Prix Renaudot () is a French literary award which was created in 1926 by ten art critics awaiting the results of the deliberation of the jury of the Prix Goncourt.

France has an abundance of literary awards, but a few are considered the top or most important, in 2011 a new award was created called Prix des prix littéraires (" Literary Prize Prize ") which picks the best from among the winners of the major French prizes: Grand Prix du roman de l ' Académie française, Prix Décembre, Prix Femina, Prix Flore, Prix Goncourt, Prix Interallié, Prix Médicis, and Prix Renaudot.

He has written eight books in all and was awarded the 2008 prix Renaudot for The King of Kahel ( le Roi de Kahel ).
