About the author
Born as Éloi Jourdain and known in print as Charles Sainte-Foi, he was a French religious writer of the 19th century. Library and authority records identify him with that pseudonym and place his life in the first half of the century, with sources differing slightly on whether he was born in 1805 or 1806.
His published work centers on Catholic teaching and spiritual formation. Catalog records connect his name to books such as Les Heures sérieuses d'une jeune personne, Théologie à l'usage des gens du monde, Le Livre des peuples et des rois, and devotional or biographical works including a life of Joseph Anchieta.
He appears to have written for a broad lay audience rather than a purely academic one, with a style shaped by piety, moral instruction, and apologetic biography. A reliable portrait was not clearly available from the sources I could confirm, so no profile image is included.
