About Hippolyte Rimbaut

Lived 1808 – 1886 (aged 78). Hippolyte Rimbaut was a French playwright.

Hippolyte Louis Rimbaut (1818–1888) was a 19th-century French playwright.

A collaborator with Le Temps, his plays were presented on the most important Parisian stages of the first half of the 19th century, including the Théâtre du Panthéon, the Théâtre de l'Ambigu, and the Théâtre des Délassements-Comiques.

Contrary to what some sources can write, it was not a pseudonym for Fulgence de Bury.
