Jolibois, Jean François *
Jean François Jolibois (1794-1879) was a French historian and parish priest of Trévoux, who in 1846 declared his support for the idea of Atlantis having been somewhere in the Atlantic.

Jolibois provides a translation of Critias that was later used by Lewis Spence in conjunction with another French translation by P. Negris to provide a working version in The History of Atlantis.
