The genealogy of a peddler

This new section in the Revue, started in our issue 69, is devoted to the genealogy and the history of individuals or families from a yet unpublished document : the Register of the Paris Consistoire (Council) 1809-1810. Claudie BLAMONT offers the genealogy of the son of a peddler : Abélard Lévy, son of Eléazar de Modène, one of the two first Jews accepted as students in Ecole Normale Supérieure in 1813, who became a famous mineralogist.
