Florentin-Étienne Jaussen

Florentin-Étienne Jaussen

Monsignor Florentin-Étienne Jaussen (1815 April 21891 September 9) was the first bishop of Tahiti and the man who brought the rongorongo script of Easter Island to the world's attention.

Jaussen was born in Rocles, France. He was the "vicar apostolic" of Tahiti and titular bishop of Axieri from 1848 May 9 to 1884 February 12, when he resigned. During this time he went by the name "Tepano," the Tahitian pronunciation of Etienne through English "Stephen".
