From 1836 to 1841 he was the first court clerk in Metz. In February 1842 he met Ludwig Uhland and Adelbert von Keller in Tübingen and was persuaded to publish old French texts in the library of the Litterarian Society in Stuttgart . He delivered the numbers 13 (1846), 24 (1852), 67 (1862) and 112 (1872). He received his doctorate as Dr. phil. and taught from 1849 to 1851 foreign literature at the University of Rennes. In 1853 he was appointed to a managerial position in the national library (manuscript department). In Paris he was a resident member of the Société nationale des antiquaires de France (1853–1885), a member of the Comité des travaux historiques et scientifiques (1865–1873) and president of the Société des anciens textes français, founded in 1875. His merit is the first edition of numerous medieval manuscripts.
