As a French person, I can answer this question. The name is Épée, not Epée, but it's tolerated in French to omit the accent on uppercases. But
Knowledge should write the non omitted with the uppercase É, it's the standard on Knowledge, and the right

Well spotted with the inscription! I struggled with his name when writing the article, as there are a number of spelling/typographical variants; the hyphen is another. Regarding the accent on the initial E, I took my lead from the

Lespée could be prounounced the old way phonetically lépé (exactly the same as l'épée), but the moden way to pronounce it is lésspé. The moden way, of course, is not the right way, because this person don't live now, in 2018.

I know this won't exactly help with the article, but I just have to say, I love when google features a person with a wikipedia page. It opens the page up to more edits, and makes it more detailed. Thanks google!

389:
How many accents in his suname? The
Catholic Encyclopedia article uses only one (on the middle E in Epee), as does the inscription under his portrait included in this article. Also here:

Why do you name him “Épée” in the article? There’s a L’ in the name. Name him Father de l’Épée or abbot de l'Épée, if you want, but not Épée alone.

I thought of what I should have done in the first place--consulted my (print) M-W Biog. Dict., which indeed verifies the two-accent spelling.
