Gustave Charles Fagniez

Background

Gustave Charles Fagniez was born in Paris on the 6th of October 1842.

Education

Gustave Charles Fagniez was trained at the Ecole des Chartes and the Ecole des Hautes Etudes.

Career

Fagniez made his first appearance in the world of scholarship as the author of an excellent book called Etudes sur I'industrie etlaclasse industrielle d Paris au XIIIе et au XIVе siecle (1877). Twenty years later he supplemented this book by an interesting collection of Documents relatifs d t'histoire de I'industrie et du commerce en France (2 vols. , 1898 - 1900), and in 1897 he published L'Economie sociale de la France sous Henri IV, a volume containing the results of very minute research.

Gustave Charles Fagniez's Le Pere Joseph et Richelieu (1894), though somewhat frigid and severe, is based on a mass of unpublished information, and shows remarkable psychologic grasp. In 1878 his Journal parisien de Jeaji de Maupoint, prieur de Ste Catherine-de-la-Couture was published in vol. iv. of the Memoires de la sociite de t'histoire de Paris et de File de France.

Gustave Charles Fagniez wrote numerous articles in the Revue historiques (of which he was co-director with Gabriel Monod for some years) and in other learned reviews, such as the Revue des questions historiques and the Journal des savants.
