Jean-Baptiste Pellissier, full name Pierre Jean-Baptiste Pellissier de Labatut, (22 February 1788 – 11 December 1856) was a 19th-century French playwright and journalist.
Biography
The son of a lawyer at the parliament of Bordeaux, an intendant of the marquis de Saint-Alvère at Montpezat-de-Quercy (modern Tarn-et-Garonne), he became chief editor of the Mémorial universel and an editor for the Revue encyclopédique (1819–1825). A secretary in the administration of the Opéra-Comique (1828), his plays, sometimes published under the pseudonymLaqueyrie, were presented on the most important Parisian stages of the 19th century including the Théâtre de la Gaîté, the Théâtre de l'Opéra-Comique, and the Théâtre de l'Odéon.
In the Louvre there is a plaster medallion of Pellissier by Etienne Hippolyte Maindron, dated 1853.[1]
