Eugene Boré is one of the French Catholic missionaries operating in the Ottoman geography in the 19th century. He has distinguished himself especially in the field of education. While teaching and administrating at St. Benoit School of Galata and French College at Bebek, he has signed many important innovations. On the other hand, he has made a number of journeys to Ottoman and Iranian cities, and has written reports on these regions. Besides all these, to write some Armenian books, and to do translate into this language are among his major activities. Boré, as can be seen has followed generally a different line from the classical Catholic missionary. Consequently, he has gained an important place in both our history of education and in the Westernization of Ottoman non-muslims. In this article, it will be described at first Boré’s life and school years, and then the activities in Istanbul and other cities. Meanwhile, his views on various issues and events will be included in this review.
