Philippe Tamizey de Larroque

life and work

Tamizey did research as a private scholar (with a broad circle of correspondents) in southern France, but also made numerous trips to Paris. His historical and literary-historical editorial activity led to his admission to the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres (as a corresponding member) in 1875 . Many of his publications have recently been reprinted.

From 1860 to 1870 he was mayor of his hometown. A few years before his death, he lost his extensive library in a fire.
