Dear friends,

Many thanks to all those who answered my query on and off list. You are wonderful colleagues and an amazing group.

I am tempted to impute Stahl's avoidance of even initials to the need he would have had to choose between two languages in what was a politically thorny situation.

In gratitude and with best wishes,
Rosane

  Dear Prof. Rocher,
 
  As far as I can ascertain, "Monsieur Stahl" is Charles-Auguste Stahl (see p. 52, point 6 here: http://real-j.mtak.hu/5450/1/CsomaKorosiBulletin_1984-1988.pdf). A different source (https://archive.org/details/lafacultdeth00gruoft/page/154/mode/2up, pp. 154-155) gives his date of birth as 1799 along with very interesting biographical details, but no date of death.
  Wishing you good luck in your inquiries and seizing the occasion to express my admiration for your work,
 
  namaskaromi,

Dear colleagues,

Might any of you know the first name and lifespan of "Stahl," who succeeded Eugène Burnouf as secretary of the Société Asiatique de Paris?  He seems always to have signed just "Stahl," and references to him seem to be only to "M[onsieur] Stahl." He was a very active member of the Société Asiatique, but Raymond Schwab does not mention him in La Renaissance Orientale.

I would be grateful for any pointers, 
Rosane Rocher
