Life

Raoul Maurice Jean Carton was born in Blois, France, in 1879. A Catholic priest, he became professor of philosophy at Stanislas College (Collège Stanislas) and the Catholic Institute (Institut Catholique) in Paris. He particularly focused on the work of Roger Bacon, who had been considered a lone scientific genius by 19th century scholarship but whom Carton and others labored to return to his medieval context. He died in Paris on 7 July 1934.
