Jean-Louis Flandrin (July 4, 1931 – August 8, 2001) was a French historian. His fields of study were family, sexuality, and, in particular, food. He introduced new analytical methods and examined a range of sources including church penitentials, cookbooks, and even traditional proverbs over a wide historical time-frame, from the High Middle Ages to the 20th century. At the time of his death, Flandrin was Professor Emeritus at the University of Paris VIII and Head of Research at the École des hautes études en sciences sociales.[1]
