Biography
The son of the notary of Fons, Léon Lacabane studied in Figeac before moving to Paris in order to study law, but eventually studied history at the École Nationale des Chartes (1821). First the secretary of the Director of agriculture and stud farms in the Ministry of Interior, he joined the Royal library in 1829. He made his entire career in this institution and retired in 1871. He helped open the resources to researchers and managed to keep to the library the Cabinet of titles claimed by the Imperial Archives.
He was also professor of paleography at the École des Chartes (1846) which he headed from 1857 to 1871.
