Jean Hippolyte Michon (born November 20, 1806 in Laroche-près-Feyt , Département Corrèze , † May 8, 1881 in Baignes-Sainte-Radegonde in the Charente department ; pseudonym Abbé *** or Abbé trois étoiles ) was a French writer and Founder of modern graphology .
Michon became known as the author of the church-indexed work Da la rénovation de l'Église (1860). Michon wrote popular anti-clerical works such as Le Maudit , La Réligieuse and Le Jésuite under the pseudonym Abbé *** , which is no longer used . In older encyclopedias Abbé *** is still listed as an independent person. The Abbé "is said to be a former Trappist named Leclerq who converted to Protestantism and who died as pastor of the Walloon community in Hanau in 1890," speculates the Brockhaus from 1928.
