Annulment Suits and the épreuve du congrès at the Officialité de Paris in the Early Seventeenth Century: Judicial Theory and Legal Practice
This essay examines the controversial usage of a procedure known as the épreuve du congrès to adjudicate suits by women seeking to annul their marriages in French Church courts (officialités) on the grounds of their husbands’ impotence. Drawing on an analysis of thirty-two cases reconstituted from the Officialité de Paris in the early seventeenth century, this article assesses the extent to which jurists’ and medical experts’ defenses and critiqu…
Social Relations, Politics, and Power in Early Modern France: Robert Descimon and the Historian’s Craft
The study of history is a fundamentally sociable practice, with the exchange of ideas taking place in writing, over the seminar table, and often in informal discussions over food.

Challenges to Authority
The Renaissance, both as a concept and a period, continues to generate lively controversy not only among academics but also among the general public. Ever since the publication, in 1860, of Jacob Burckhardt's classic study of the Renaissance in Italy, scholars have disputed the origins of the movement and its subsequent influence on European culture and thought. This sequence of three course texts and two anthologies, published in association wit…
