French Orientalist, born in Silesia, 1836-1894, translator of numerous works from the Arabic

Fishburn and Hughes: "A nineteenth-century orientalist and translator of Arabic texts. His work, published in Paris in 1899, was considered one of the most important commentaries on the Thousand and One Nights, not only for its useful notes but because it put an end to conjectures about the source of Galland's unidentified tales (see Burton, 1885 edn., vol.6, 357). The assertion here attributed to him is of course apocryphal." (216)
