Henri de Genouillac

Henri Pierre Louis du Verdier de Genouillac, called Abbé Henri de Genouillac, (15 March 1881, Rouen – 20 November 1940, in his clergy house in Villennes-sur-Seine) was a French Roman Catholic priest, epigrapher and archaeologist specializing in Assyriology.

Gaston Maspero made a lengthy review of the work in the Journal des débats dated 30 March 1909.

He was sent to Constantinople and brought back the volumes of the Inventaire des tablettes de Tello (1912–1921).

A researcher at the Département des antiquités orientales du musée du Louvre [fr], he was given the direction of the excavations at Kish between January and April 1912, allowing him to write the two volumes of the Fouilles françaises d'El-'Akhymer (1924–1925).

He bequeathed to the musée départemental des antiquités of Seine-Maritime in Rouen his collection of 620 objects, which were received into the museum on May 17, 1941.
