About the author
Library records from the Bibliothèque nationale de France identify him as Paul Charpentier (1854–1937). The works connected with his name show an author and editor interested in both history and technical subjects, which gives his catalog an unusually varied feel.
Among the books attributed to him are works on wood and timber, paper, and the Atlantic coast of France, as well as the scholarly edition of Journal du siège d'Orléans, 1428-1429, prepared with Charles Cuissard. That mix suggests a practical, curious writer who moved comfortably between reference-style writing and historical material.
Reliable biographical details beyond those basic catalog facts were limited in the sources I could confirm here, so it is safest to remember him through his books: a solid, industrious presence in French nonfiction whose work reflects both technical knowledge and an interest in preserving the past.
