Biography

Charles Higounet was a French medievalist who taught in Bordeaux III university from 1946 to 1979, where a research center was named after him. He used to be a specialist of bastides (a new and specific form of city in the middle age) and the history of south-west France, and he was especially noticed after his history of Bordeaux, for which he won the historical prize, Grand prix Gobert, in 1973. He also led a team that worked on a historical atlas for French cities. He also wrote a volume of the "Que sais-je ?" (famous French collection of thousands of shorts reference essays, summarising the state of the knowledge on various subjects) on various forms of writing. The book has been re-edited more than ten times.
