About the author

Born in 1818 and died in 1894, Félix Marie Louis Jean Robiou de La Tréhonnais was a French historian and university scholar. Contemporary bibliographic and reference records identify him with historical and academic writing, and a period notice says he taught history in the Faculties of Letters at Strasbourg, Nancy, and Rennes.

His books reflect broad interests across the ancient world. Among the works linked to him are De l'influence du Stoïcisme à l'époque des Flaviens et des Antonins (1852), Histoire des Gaulois d'orient (1866), and Observations critiques sur l'archéologie dite préhistorique (1879), a study that questions some 19th-century theories about prehistoric archaeology and the Celtic past.

He also appears in connection with more local and practical subjects. A reference on Alphonse Daloz credits F. Robiou de La Tréhonnais with Le Touquet, histoire d'une forêt (1875), describing him as a distinguished agronomist as well as an author.
