baron de Janzé

Charles-Alfred de Janzé (1822–1892) was a French author from the de Janzé family. The clearest bibliographic records found for him identify him as the author of Les Huguenots. Cent ans de persécution, 1685-1789, published in 1886.

That book focuses on a century of persecution after the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes, suggesting a strong interest in French religious history and in making a difficult period accessible to general readers. While detailed biographical information about his life was limited in the sources available here, his surviving publication record shows him as a historical writer with a clear documentary focus.

Today, his name is still preserved in major French digital collections, especially Gallica, the digital library of the Bibliothèque nationale de France. For audiobook listeners and history readers, he is most interesting as a voice from the 1800s looking back at one of the most turbulent eras in French Protestant history.
