Remarks

↑ There are contradicting statements about the date of death. The Index biographique des membres de l'Académie de médecine from 1972 mentions January 13, 1901 in Essarts-le-Roi (which is also given as the place of death of his son Joannes), the website of the Comité des travaux historiques et scientifiques names the 4th July 1901 without a location. Since July 4th was the anniversary of the death of his son Joannes († 1912), there may be a mix-up here.
