= Champollion's great work on the deciphering of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. With this work he established his irrefutable claim to the title of founder of scientific Egyptology. On the support of Pope Leo XII of Champollion's endeavours to decipher hieroglyphs, see i.a. J.-G.Honoré Greppo, p.71f: "(...) and already, though the study of hieroglyphics in its infancy, many precious documents have aided in the understanding of the Scriptures. Pope Leo XII. fully comprehended this subject. In encouraging by all the weight of his influence the learned labors of Champollion, he did not confine himself to viewing this event simply as one of the most notable in the calendar of human knowledge, but he perceived in it an invaluable source of positive data concerning the history of the people of God in their relations to Egypt. (...)". Cf. Numa Broc, Afrique p.72f.
