Résumé
The archeologist Jules Martha spent more than twenty years working on what he thought would be the masterpiece of his scientific career, La langue étrusque. In fact, this book in which he claimed that Etruscan was an Finno-Ugric language was very badly received, which eventually ruined his hopes of becoming a member of the Académie. This article is dealing with this crucial moment of Jules Martha’s career, when the young archeologist he was discovered and finally adopted this rather peculiar theory about the origin of the Etruscan tongue. But strangely enough, he made his choice more for archeological than linguistic reasons.
