About the author

Alexis Paulin Paris (25 March 1800 – 13 February 1881) was a French scholar and author.

He studied classics in Reims and law in Paris. He published in 1824 an Apologie pour l'école romantique (In Defense of the Romantic school) and took an active part in Parisian journalism. His numerous editions of early French poems continued the work begun by Dominique Meon in arousing general interest in the chanson de geste.

Admitted to the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles Lettres in 1837, in 1853, a chair of medieval literature was founded at the Collège de France, and Paris became the first occupant. He retired in 1872 with the title of honorary professor and was promoted to officer of the Legion of Honour in the next year.
