The French Book
Space Between Words
Reading, like any human activity, has a history. Modern reading is a silent and solitary activity. Ancient reading was usually oral, either aloud, in groups, or individually, in a muffled voice. The text format in which thought has been presented to readers has undergone many changes in order to reach the form that the modern Western reader now views as immutable and nearly universal. This book explains how a change in writing—the introduction of…
The Impact of the Early Printed Page on the History of Reading
Les conséquences de l’apparition de l’imprimerie sur l’histoire de la lecture ont souvent été exagérées. Alors que les changements paléographiques firent évoluer profondément la page des manuscrits latins au haut Moyen Âge, l’imprimerie ne modifia pas beaucoup la physiologie du processus de lecture. L’imprimerie amena cependant un certain nombre de lentes évolutions dans la mise en page du texte qui améliorèrent la lisibilité et encouragèrent la …
The Coming of the Book
Books, and the printed word more generally, are aspects of modern life that are all too often taken for granted. Yet the emergence of the book was a process of immense historical importance and heralded the dawning of the epoch of modernity. In this much praised history of that process, Lucien Febvre and Henri-Jean Martin mesh together economic and technological history, sociology and anthropology, as well as the study of modes of consciousness, …
Physiologie de la lecture et séparation des mots
La lecture, comme tout autre activité humaine, a connu un développement historique. Il ne faudrait pas croire que, parce que des processus cognitifs particuliers permettent au lecteur d'aujourd'hui de déchiffrer une page écrite, ces mêmes activités cognitives ont été utilisées tout au long de l'histoire de l'humanité. Il est clair aussi que la forme sous laquelle la pensée écrite a été présentée au lecteur a connu de nombreux changements avant de…

Short Children, Anxious Parents
The impending Food and Drug Administration approval of a synthetic\ngrowth hormone (hGH) for use with children deficient in the hormone is\nexpected to present a dilemma for physicians confronted by parental demands\nfor hGH treatment of normal, but short, children. Little is known of long\nterm effects of such treatment, which is protracted, slow to yield results,\ncostly, and likely to cause psychological problems when ineffective. Public\npoli…

John of Paris, Principal Author of the Quaestio de potestate papae (Rex pacificus)
The Royal Tour of France by Charles IX and Catherine de'Medici
The Earliest French Resistance Theories
Burgundy and the Inalienability of Appanages in the Reign of Louis XI
The death of Charles the Bold in 1477 raised one of the great issues of French constitutional history. Could Charles's daughter and only legitimate and direct heir, Mary, inherit his appanages of Burgundy, Artois, Macon, Auxerre, Bar-sur-Seine, and French Flanders? Mary's defenders claimed that Charles's appanages were actually fiefs which women could inherit. French speaking writers in the Franche-Comte in the sixteenth century and in modern Bel…
