Jules Violle Biography?

[Kesdjan]

The info on Jules Violle is not as in depth as I would like. I found this on a fulcanelli site (translated; originally in french):

VIOLLE (Jules), French physicist, born in Langres in 1841, died in Fixin, meadows of Dijon, in 1923.

Former pupil of the higher Teacher training school of Paris, it took the rank of science doctor in 1870; he was a successively professor with the Faculty of Science of Lyon (1883), then lecturer at the higher Teacher training school (1890).

In 1891 he was also a professor with the academy of arts and trades. He proposed the standard of light which bears its name (1881). He invented, in 1882, the calorimétre with cooling, whose principle led to the manufacture of the insulating bottles. One owes in Violle a new theory of the geysers; research on the origin of hail, and the means of fighting it; the exploration of the atmosphere by sounding-balloons.

Member of the Academy of Science in 1897, Fizeau. Let us quote its Treaty of physics, which made authority; also its beautiful experiments on the temperature of the sun, and the determination of the mechanical equivalent of heat.

Jules VIOLLE had five wire, James (born in 1876), Bernard, (born in 1877), Louis, (born in 1881), Henri (born in 1882) and Gabriel, (born in 1888).

Henri was a doctor and James Intendant General of the Armies.

For memory:
VIOLLE (STANDARD), source of light consisted a square centimétre of the surface of a bath (platinum in fusion radiating normally at the temperature of solidification: The Violle standard is worth 20 decimal candles.

Have you read Patrick Rivière's 'Fulcanelli'? http://www.qfgpublishing.com/product_info.php?cPath=21&products_id=55&osCsid=9025781fce592be2a01f91b855f29042

Since you've been around awhile, you probably have, but just in case, I figured I should point it out. ;)

I am not aware of any biography of Violle. Patrick Riviere does go into it a bit in his book Fulcanelli. Patrick did research in the archives and has read a number of letters from Violle's personal correspondence, as well as collecting some of his papers. Parts are translated in the Fulcanelli book.

Hello there,


sorry to reply on an old post.

Was taking a look at Fulcanelli: His True Identity Revealed (http://books.google.com.ar/books?id=l2q-Xt1cgLsC ) and I'm wondering: what about his wife Anna Jacob ??

Did she reach the Great Work, too? I'm too lost in order to mention that polar beings reach it together?

Please enlighten me; thank you,


cbi

ps: sorry my English.

Here's an excerpt about Anna Jacob from the above book:

Our learned man, Violle, officially disappeared from his little village of Fixin on September 12, 1923, aged 83.

Augustin Boutaric wrote in his laudatory note:

He was a great savant and a man of heart. His simplicity and his rectitude drew upon him nothing but sympathy.

But even here we discover a great curiosity. The death certificate was delivered by Henri Violle, one of Jules' sons who was a physician. This was certainly most unconventional, even highly questionable and not in accordance with legal conventions. Henri Violle is the son who shares his father's grave - along with his wife, born Suzanne Champy - while Jules Violle's own wife, Anna Jacob, had been buried the year before Violle's death in a neighbouring burial vault. All this is quite singular and gives much food for thought...

It's likely that she was really buried rather than "disappeared" like his husband. So, it's uncertain as to whether or not Anna Jacob ever participated in the Great Work, but I could be wrong.

Thank you.
