The author is not the noted French orientalist and early translator of the Arabian Nights, who lived a century before, but rather a publisher who was part of the Commission des Sciences et Arts sent to Egypt with the French army and charged with producing what would become the Description de l’Égypte. See Ibrahim-Hilmy I, 252 and J-M. Carré, I: 147.
