SAUVAL, See also:HENRI (1623–1676) , See also:French historian, son of an See also:advocate in the See also:Parlement, was See also:born in See also:Paris, and baptized on the 5th of See also:March 1623. He devoted most of his See also:life to researches among the archives of his native See also:city, and in 1656 even obtained a See also:licence to See also:print his Paris ancien et moderne; but on his See also:death (21st March 1676) the whole See also:work was still in See also:manuscript. A See also:long See also:time afterwards it appeared, thanks to his collaborator, See also:Claude See also:Bernard See also:Rousseau, under the See also:title of Histoire et recherches See also:des antiquites de la ville de Paris (1724), but remodelled, with the addition of long and dull See also:dissertations which were not by Sauva1. The work was not without merits, and it was re-issued in 1733 and 1750. The See also:original manuscript first belonged to Montmerque, and then passed into the See also:possession of Le Roux de Lincy, who prepared an annotated edition; unfortunately this material, together with the original MS., was lost in the incendiary fires which took See also:place under the See also:Commune (1871). There remain, however, Le Roux de Lincy's researches, a See also:series of articles on Sauval which appeared in the Bulletin du bibliophile et du bibliothecaire in 1862, 1866 and 1868. See also the Bibliographie de Paris avant 1789, by the See also:Abbe Valentin See also:Dufour (1882).
