A. (Augustin) Auffray

Born in Nantes on April 8, 1881, Augustin Auffray became a French Salesian priest and man of letters. French reference sources identify him as Augustin Fernand Auffray, and note that he died in Lausanne on July 29, 1955.

He is especially associated with writing about Don Bosco and Salesian spirituality. Library records and public-domain editions show that his books include works such as La pédagogie d'un saint and biographies centered on Don Bosco and Don Rua, reflecting a lasting interest in education, faith, and the practical work of forming young people.

For readers today, Auffray stands out as an author who helped bring Salesian ideals to a wider audience. His work blends religious biography with a clear concern for teaching and character, which gives his books both historical interest and a warm, purposeful tone.
