Camille Pitollet

Camille Pitollet was a French writer and scholar born in Véronnes-les-Grandes, Côte-d'Or, on October 24, 1874, and he died in Pau on June 25, 1964. Library and reference records describe him as a man of letters with a wide range of work, and German and French sources identify him as a specialist in Spanish studies as well as German literature.

His bibliography is notably broad. The Bibliothèque nationale de France lists well over a hundred textual works and also shows him working not only as an author, but as an editor, preface writer, and translator. His collaborations and editions connect him with major Spanish-language figures including Cervantes, Lope de Vega, Guillén de Castro, and Leandro Fernández de Moratín.

Academic indexes give a sense of how active he was over time: Persée records decades of contributions, especially in Bulletin hispanique, from the early 1900s into the 1940s. Alongside literary criticism, he also wrote local and historical studies, which suggests a career shaped by both close reading and archival curiosity.
