Louis Gustave Fortuné Ratisbonne (29 July 1827 - 24 September 1900) was a French man of letters.
He was born at Strasbourg. He was the son of the banker Adolphe Ratisbonne and his wife Charlotte Oppenheim, and the nephew of the priests Marie Theodor Ratisbonne and Marie-Alphonse Ratisbonne. He studied at the school of his native town and at the College Henry IVin Paris. He was connected with the Journal des Debats from 1853 to 1876; became librarian of the palace of Fontainebleau in 1871, and three years later to the Senate.
Louis Ratisbonne's most important work was a verse translation of the La Divina Commedia(The Divine Comedy), in which the original is rendered tercet by tercet into French. L'Enfer(1852) was crowned by the Academy; Le Purgatoire (1857) and Le Paradis 1859) received theprix Bordin.
He is also the author of some charming fables and verses for children: La Comédie enfantine(1860), Les Figures jeunes (1865) and others. He was literary executor of Alfred de Vigny, whose Destinées (1864) and Journal d'un poète (1867) he published. Ratisbonne died in Paris.
