University Microfilms International 300 North Zeeb Road Ann Arbor, Michigan 48106 USA St INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation. Silver prints of "photographs" may be ordered at additional charge by writing the Order Department, giving the catalog number, title, author and specific pages you wish reproduced. 5. PLEASE NOTE: Some pages may have indistinct print. Filmed as received.

Pegues Adviser Department of History For Kathy 11 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS So many persons and institutions have served to guide, influence and assist me along the way to the completion of this dissertation, it is difficult, if not impossible, to give adequate credit to them all. Some of their contributions began long before a formal topic was even chosen. In the classroom, in seminars, in conversations, and in the authorship of historical studies, certain persons symbolized the type of scholarship and excellence in intellectual pursuits that was periodically recalled to serve as an inspiration or a model. In thinking back over the years to the nascent period of my interest in history during my undergraduate education at Villanova University, I have often recalled with fondness the courses taken and the work done for Alexander Rudhart, Donald Kelley, and Daniel Carroll. During subsequent trips back to Pennsylvania over the past decade, I especially looked forward to visiting with this last-named teacher and friend. As a teacher, he always demanded excellence of his students; as a scholar, he was a model of excellence himself; and, as a friend, he always had warm words of encouragement. Tragically, he passed away this past year--far too soon for his years; and I deeply regret that I will not be able to present him with a completed copy of this study. Though he will be sorely missed, he will always be remembered by me as an historian worthy of the greatest respect. Ill From time to time along the way I have also often recalled with benefit the ideas, the experiences and the training received during an excellent graduate education at The Ohio State University. Among those whom I wish to thank for providing these things are Philip Poirier, Peter Larmour, Harold Grimm, Franklin Pegues, Clayton Roberts, Robert Bremner, Glenda Riley, John Burnham, and John C. Rule. I owe a special debt of thanks to my dissertation adviser. Dr. Rule, who provided stimu­ lating and thoughtful guidance in the field of early modern European history, and who continually urged thoroughness and accuracy in research and writing. Where this study lacks these qualities, the fault is entirely mine. My thanks go also to Franklin Pegues and John Rothney of the Department of History and to Charles Williams of the Department of Romance Languages and Literature for taking the time to read and comment on the dissertation in draft form. I also wish to express my gratitude for the financial assistance provided by the Graduate School and the Department of History in the form of a University Fellowship and a Teaching Associateship. The fellowship made it possible for me to spend fifteen months in the archives and manuscript repositories of Paris doing the primary research in the sources which forms the basis for the greater part of this study; and the teaching experience led me to think about the study in the context of Western Civilization. Thanks go also to my good friend and fellow graduate student Andrew Szarka who provided encouragement and good humor along the way. And thanks to Evelyn Arnold and Carla Blazac for easing the way administratively. IV I am grateful to the Department of History of Stanford University for the Teaching and Research Fellowship which brought me into contact with numerous stimulating scholars and students of history. Among those I would particularly like to cite are Gordon A. Craig, Lewis Spitz, Gordon Wright, and Carolyn Lougee. Nor can I omit to mention the good company and discussions provided by fellow "TARFS" Cissie Bonini, Jeffry Diefendorf, Paul Mazgaj, Carl Zangerl, James Shedel, Michael Von Herzen, Erna Hellerstein, Nancy Padgett, and Louis Nigro. Others who offered suggestions and insights, great and small, along the way, and who I would like to thank, include Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie, Robert Forster, Leon Bernard, Josef Konvitz, and Ben Trotter. By gratitude is equally extended to all of the cooperative and friendly archivists, curators and librarians in France who assisted me at: the Archives Nationales, the Bibliothèque Nationale, the Biblio­ thèque de l’Arsenal, the Archives des Affaires Etrangères, the Archives de la Guerre (Vincennes), the Bibliothèque Historique de la Ville de Paris, the Archives de la Préfecture de Police, the Archives de la Ville de Paris et de l'ancien département de la Seine, the Bibliothèque de l'Institut, the Archives de l'Académie Française, the Bibliothèque de la Chambre des Députés, and the Bibliothèque Mazarine; and, in the United States, in the library systems of The Ohio State University, Stanford University, and the University of California, Berkeley. Special thanks to Philip Hoehn, map librarian of the Bancroft Library, for timely assistance in a moment of need. I also especially wish to acknowledge Mrs. Jane Edwards whose painstaking typing from manuscript and editorial assistance is something for which I will always be grateful. I offer my thanks to my father and mother who always encouraged me in my academic endeavors. Finally, my deepest debt of gratitude is to the two most important persons in my life, Kathy and Katie, my wife and daughter. The former offered years of loving support and encouragement to see this project to completion; the latter, at a tender age, offered on numerous occasions to illustrate it with crayons. They both will always have my heartfelt thanks. VI VITA October 4, 1946 ............. Born— Darby, Pennsylvania 1968 ......................

    The Cultivation of Friendship: French and German Cultural Cooperation, 1925-1954 Elana Passman A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History Chapel Hill 2008 Approved by: Dr. Donald M. Reid Dr. Christopher R. Browning Dr. Konrad H. Jarausch Dr. Alice Kaplan Dr. Lloyd Kramer Dr. Jay M. Smith ©2008 Elana Passman ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT ELANA PASSMAN The Cultivation of Friendship: French and German Cultural Cooperation, 1925-1954 (under the direction of Donald M. Reid) Through a series of case studies of French-German friendship societies, this dissertation investigates the ways in which activists in France and Germany battled the dominant strains of nationalism to overcome their traditional antagonism. It asks how the Germans and the French recast their relationship as “hereditary enemies” to enable them to become partners at the heart of today’s Europe. Looking to the transformative power of civic activism, it examines how journalists, intellectuals, students, industrialists, and priests developed associations and lobbying groups to reconfigure the French-German dynamic through cultural exchanges, bilingual or binational journals, conferences, lectures, exhibits, and charitable ventures. As a study of transnational cultural relations, this dissertation focuses on individual mediators along with the networks and institutions they developed; it also explores the history of the idea of cooperation. Attempts at rapprochement in the interwar period proved remarkably resilient in the face of the prevalent nationalist spirit. While failing to override hostilities and sustain peace, the campaign for cooperation adopted a new face in the misguided shape of collaborationism during the Second World War.

DNA EVIDENCE and LOUIS XVII This illustration is cropped from a larger image, published in 1856, depicting Marie Antoinette wearing a necklace. It was originally published in Le collier de la Reine ("The Queen's Necklace") by Alexandre Dumas (author of The Count of Monte Cristo and other adventure novels). The furor, against the Queen, was about a necklace. Not just any necklace. A 2,800-carat (647 brilliants) diamond necklace which the court’s jewelers (Charles Boehmer and Paul Bassenge) had fashioned and hoped the queen would purchase. Marie Antoinette, however, did not want it. Though she had previously spent a great deal of her own money on diamonds, she no longer desired to purchase extravagant jewelry. How could the queen spend money on baubles when people in the country did not have enough to eat? In fact, the queen had previously told Boehmer, the jeweler, that she did not want to buy anything more from him. Thinking he could persuade the king to buy the necklace, Boehmer convinced one of Louis’ assistants to show him the piece. Not realizing Antoinette had already rejected it, the king - who thought it would look wonderful on his wife - sent it to Antoinette.

  • Marins Sous La Coupole
    Marins sous la Coupole Le 22 juin 1989 dans son discours d’accueil de Jacques-Yves COUSTEAU à l’Académie française l’académicien Bertrand Poirot-Delpech déclarait : "Vous voilà le septième officier de la Royale à prendre le Quai Conti à l’abordage, après l’amiral d’Estrées en 1715, l’amiral de la Gravière en 1888, Pierre Loti en 1891, Maurice de Broglie en 1934, Claude Farrère en 1935, et, en 1936, l’amiral Lacaze, ministre de la Marine pendant la Grande Guerre, cet amiral un peu coléreux, à qui Henri Mondor, en bon médecin, lança un jour, pour prévenir un coup de sang : « Amiral, attention à vos vaisseaux ! » Il avait omis l’amiral Jean-Baptiste-Henri de VALINCOUR élu en 1699 et il faut rajouter Michel Serres élu académicien en 1990 ce qui porte à neuf le nombre d’officiers de marine "Immortels". http://www.academie-francaise.fr 1699 Jean-Baptiste-Henri de VALINCOUR (1653-1730) Historiographe, amiral Élu en 1699 au fauteuil 13 Prédécesseur : Jean RACINE Successeur : Jean-François LERIGET de LA FAYE Né à Paris, le 1er mars 1653. Secrétaire des commandements du comte de Toulouse, prince du sang et grand amiral, il fut historiographe de France. Écrivain et poète de peu de valeur, il fut l’ami fidèle de Racine et de Boileau : il était dépositaire du manuscrit de la Vie de Louis XIV par Racine ; cette pièce précieuse fut brûlée, en 1726, dans l’incendie qui dévora les sept ou huit mille volumes formant la bibliothèque de Valincour. Élu le 30 mai 1699 en remplacement de Racine, il fut reçu par La Chapelle le 27 juin suivant, et harangua, comme directeur, le roi Louis XV lorsqu’il visita l’Académie le 22 juillet 1719.

La collection de manuscrits et d'archives avait pris, au fil des siècles, de l'importance, et, conscients du caractère particulier de ce type de documents par rapport aux livres imprimés, les bibliothécaires autant que les historiens membres de la commission de la Bibliothèque et les hommes politiques se rendaient compte de la nécessité de leur réserver un traitement particulier. 2004 marque donc le centenaire de ce que l'on peut considérer comme la création du Département des manuscrits. Et les anniversaires offrent de bons prétextes pour entreprendre ou mener à terme des projets auxquels l'on pense depuis longtemps. L'un de ces projets est le catalogue systématique des documents portant la cote "Manuscrits français 1 à 200" (en réalité 1 à 198, les deux derniers numéros étant non attribués). Comme l'explique dans son introduction Madame Paule Hochuli Dubuis, assistante conservatrice du département des manuscrits et elle aussi, comme Léopold Micheli, titulaire du diplôme d'archiviste-paléographe de l'Ecole des Chartes, l'histoire de cet inventaire est assez tortueuse et, à dire vrai, il est attendu depuis un siècle ! En engageant Léopold Micheli, le but était de procéder "sans retard au classement et au catalogue des collections de lettres et autres documents manuscrits, encore conservées en liasses dans des portefeuilles ou trop sommairement inventoriées".

    CENTRE HISTORIQUE DES ARCHIVES NATIONALES GRAND CONSEIL ET CONSEIL PRIVÉ 5 6 REPERTOIRE NUMERIQUE DES SOUS-SERIES V ET V par Émile CAMPARDON archiviste aux Archives nationales revu par Jean-Pierre BRUNTERC’H et Françoise HILDESHEIMER conservateurs en chef aux Archives nationales 2000 SOMMAIRE INTRODUCTION ORIENTATION BIBLIOGRAPHIQUE 5 V . GRAND CONSEIL. 6 V . CONSEIL PRIVE. 78 INTRODUCTION La fausse étymologie « rex a recte » manifeste clairement le caractère essentiellement judiciaire de la monarchie : le roi est source de toute justice. Si l’exercice de la justice est très largement déléguée aux officiers (juges délégués), le souverain garde jusqu’à la fin de l’Ancien régime la prérogative de rendre personnellement la justice et ses sujets la possibilité de s’adresser directement à lui par la voie directe du placet. La tradition médiévale du jugement personnel étant devenue une survivance peu usitée, la justice retenue du roi – qui est règle et non exception – s’exerce par divers moyens qui traduisent les modes d’intervention divers dont use le pouvoir royal dans un système qui, rappelons-le, ignore la séparation des pouvoirs. Lettres royaux (lettres de cachet, lettres de grâce), jugements par commissaires, évocations générales, privilèges de juridiction sont ses moyens d’intervention qui la rendent omniprésente. Parmi ceux-ci il faut faire mention spéciale de l’intervention du Conseil du roi, organe de gouvernement, qui a toujours eu en même temps un caractère judiciaire et administratif1. Le Conseil, quelles que soient sa formation et ses interventions, est un et agit au nom du roi dont il ne peut être disjoint. Il s’était progressivement subdivisé en séances dont l’une, apparue sous le règne de Charles VII, correspondait à sa formation judiciaire chargée de juger une masse de plus en plus importante de procès privés.
