About the author

Henri Emile Koopmans van Boekeren is credited as the author of Jeanne d'Arc, de maagd van Orléans, a Dutch work available through Project Gutenberg. The catalog record there identifies him by his full name, which helps connect the abbreviated form “H. E. Koopmans van Boekeren” to the author.

Reliable biographical detail appears to be limited online, so it is safest to describe him as an obscure Dutch-language author whose known published work centers on Joan of Arc. A University of Utrecht collection page also preserves an image associated with Koopmans van Boekeren, suggesting he remains of interest mainly through archival and library holdings rather than broad modern literary fame.

Because the available sources are sparse, many personal details about his life and career cannot be confirmed confidently and are best left unstated.
