About the author
Project Gutenberg lists J. Bresse as the author of L'Histoire Des Vaudois, and that work appears to be the clearest surviving record of the name in widely accessible library sources.
The book is a historical account centered on the Waldensians, also called the Vaudois or Valdenses. In Project Gutenberg's description, it explores their history, beliefs, and long experience of persecution while preserving their religious identity.
Reliable biographical details about the author are hard to confirm from the sources found here, so it is safest to describe J. Bresse as an obscure historical writer known chiefly for this work rather than to add unverified personal information.
