"Eutrope Cazalas (Ribérac 1864-Versailles 1943), son of a controller of the French Direct Taxation (really, after Gaston Tarry…), is a brilliant mind which, after the Ecole Polytechnique year 1884, rapidly became captain of the French army, translated in 1899 a Russian book Towards India, and published in 1909 a booklet The Military Balloon Captured in Wurzbourg in 1796. No, all this has no connection with magic squares. He continued to rise in military rank, participated with high success in the first world war, and became general in 1921. We can add that several honorific distinctions: Croix de Guerre (War Cross) with bar, and Commandeur de la Légion d’Honneur. And he is polyglot: German, Italian, Spanish, Russian. An impressive man!

Our general, then retired from the army, built in 1933 the first known 64th-order trimagic square, that he calculated by hand and integrally published in a folding paper inserted at the end of his remarkable Les Carrés Magiques au Degré n book. Our general thought -wrongly- that smaller ones cannot exist.
