"L'abbé Sicard" by Ferdinand Berthier is a historical account likely written in the late 19th century. This work recounts the life and contributions of Abbé Roch-Ambroise Cucurron Sicard, a prominent educator for the deaf and successor to the esteemed Abbé de l'Épée. The text explores Sicard's efforts in the establishment and improvement of education for the deaf, alongside notable figures like Jean Massieu and Laurent Clerc. The opening of the narrative introduces the context of Abbé Sicard's life, beginning with a family celebration that marks the anniversary of the abbé de l'Épée's birth. Here, the call is made for Berthier to write about Sicard's legacy. Following this, readers learn about Sicard's early accomplishments, including his appointment as the director of a school for the deaf in Bordeaux and his subsequent return to Paris to lead the National Institute for Deaf-Mutes. The tumultuous period of the French Revolution also plays a significant role, as Sicard is arrested but ultimately rescued by the loyalty of his students and supporters, setting the stage for the trials he would face in his dedicated mission to educate and advocate for the deaf community.
