"Repertory of The Comedie Humaine, Part 2" by Cerfberr and Christophe is an encyclopedia published as a companion to Honoré de Balzac's La Comédie humaine. This reference work catalogs the plethora of unique characters Balzac invented across his 95 loosely connected novels satirizing French society during the Restoration and July Monarchy. The repertory documents recurring figures, from the ambitious Rastignac to the criminal Vautrin, alongside single-volume characters and even fictional heraldry, creating a comprehensive guide to Balzac's interconnected literary universe.
