TheCommission des Sciences et des Arts (Commission of the Sciences and Arts ) was a French scientific and artistic institute. Established on 16 March 1798, it consisted of 167 members, of which all but 16 joinedNapoleon Bonaparte 'scampaign in Egypt and produced theDescription de l'Égypte (published in 37 Books from 1809 to around 1829). More than half were engineers and technicians, including 21 mathematicians, 3 astronomers, 17 civil engineers, 13 naturalists and mining engineers, geographers, 3 gunpowder engineers, 4 architects, 8 artists, 10 mechanical artists, 1 sculptor, 15 interpreters, 10 men of letters, 22 printers inLatin ,Greek andArabic characters. Bonaparte organised his scientific 'corps' like an army, dividing its members into 5 categories and assigning to each member a military rank and a defined military role (supply, billeting) beyond his scientific function.
Some members, like Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, Monge, or Vivant Denon, are universally remembered but most have been all but forgotten. Some became members of theInstitut d'Égypte .
