Source Notes
Sy Scholfield quotes Olivier Smolders, "Paul Nougé: écriture et caractère : à l'école de la ruse" (Labor, 1995): "Ceci explique peut-être la mention de « négociant » qui définit la profession du père sur le certificat de naissance de Paul Jules Isidore Alexis Nougé qui naît « le 13 février 1895, à 6 heures du soir, au numéro 39 de la rue du Congrès."
