I added the biography and "sources" from the French Wikipedia version of this article. I cannot speak French.
Here's the French-language version:

Biographie Il naît à Uccle en Belgique le 11 juin 1903. En 1924, il termine des études de philologie classique à l'Université libre de Bruxelles. Il accompagne alors l'un de ses maîtres en Égypte et sa rencontre avec le monde islamique déterminera sa vocation définitive : l'étude de l'Islam.
Il enseigne en premier lieu dans le cadre de l'enseignement secondaire à l'Athénée de Schaerbeek de 1928 à 1953 même s'il donne également des cours d'arabe et d'islamologie pour l'Institut des hautes études de Belgique.

Assessment/start
