- Summary:
- This edition magnificently documents the role of the Parlement of Paris in preserving the Catholic religion from the challenges of the Protestant Reformation whilst trying to maintain its Gallican principles and historic legal role in the face of interventions by the powerful Renaissance French monarch, Francis I. It is unique in providing scholars with extensive, year-by-year documentary evidence for the court's activity, and invaluable as a study in how the court pursued cases and recorded its decisions. It corrects previous scholarship and offers significant new insights on the court's oversight of publishing and information circulation. The work complements James Farge's previous studies and will take its place as the authoritative edition of the activities of the court in this period. Book jacket.
