Émile Nourry

Émile Nourry (December 6, 1870, Autun, France; April 27, 1935, Paris) was a French publisher, bookseller, and folklorist known under the pen name Pierre Saintyves (P. Saintyves, sometimes incorrectly given as Paul Saintyves).[1]

He was President of the Society of French Folklore (Société de folklore français et de folklore colonial), director of Revue du folklore français and Revue anthropologique, as well as Maître de conférences at the School of Anthropology, Paris.[1][2][3]

P. Saintyves is credited with the hypothesis that many common folktales originate in pagan rituals, published in his Les Contes de Perrault et les récits parallèles, 1923.[4][5]
