Txomin Peillen Karrikaburu (17 November 1932 – 9 December 2022) was a French writer, linguist, and biologist.[1]

Biography

[edit]

Born into a family originally from Soule, Peillen was born in Montmartre in the 18th arrondissement of Paris to Joannes and Maddalen. While attending secondary school in Paris, he taught Basque at the Lycée Lavoisier [fr]. He earned a doctorate in Basque studies alongside Jean Haritschelhar [fr] and was a professor of Basque philology in Bayonne.

Peillen was a fierce activist of Basque culture as a member of the Euskaltzaindia and the Basque Studies Society, for which he earned the Manuel Lekuona Award [eu] in 2009.[2] In total, he wrote 43 books, 39 of which were in Basque, three in French, and one in Spanish. Throughout his life, he lived in Bayonne and Sainte-Engrâce.[3]

Peillen died in Cambo-les-Bains on 9 December 2022, at the age of 90.[4]
