Albert Étienne Jean Baptiste Terrien De La CouperieAlbert Étienne Jean Baptiste Terrien de Lacouperie – In my own readings on the reception of Terrien de Lacouperie's "Sino-Babylonian" theories in China, I've only seen "Lacouperie" spelled in one word. Searches on Google Books confirm that "Terrien de Lacouperie" (110,000 results, including the man's own books) dominates "Terrien de la Couperie" (12,800 results) by a ratio of more than 8 to 1. Because reliable sources clearly favor "Terrien de Lacouperie" and because his own books indicate "Terrien de Lacouperie" as author, I think a move is in order.

Thank you for providing this ngram, which is indeed much stronger evidence than my simple Google search! Madalibi (talk) 04:43, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
