Very Dear Andhonored Father, Your Blessing! Monsieur, the Absolute -470- 3222•• FRANt;OISE CARCIREUX TO SAINT VINCENT Very Dear andHonored Father, Your blessing! Monsieur, the absolute trust, love, and awe I have with regardto M des Jardins have kept me silent for a long time, with the result that I have neglected to take the hanor ofwriting to you because His Charity thought itfitfor us to make our communication to him once a month, which I do unreservedly, thank God. His Charity instructed me to take this hanor. I acquiesce with all my heart and will tell you that we are finding it very hardtopreservesomeslight imageofour Institute. We seem to be suffering the worst agonies. We haveshac'" to absorb, andthey are not small ones. It seems to me that all this turbulence comes from thase fine demoiselles with whom Sister Annet and I are associated. Our only supporter and defender, after God, is M des Jardins; we are deeply indebtedfor this grace, and we will acknowledge it. He told us that you want us to show an interest in the young women whom Godwillhonor with the grace ofour vocation. We gladly accept this in the hape that, through us, Godwill instill in them the spirit ofour Company andthatyou in your goodness will not allow what is contrary to that to subsist. This is the petition we address to you so that, in the love ofJesus and ofyou, assuring you always ofour very humble respect and obedience, we may all be, my very dear Father, your most humble andobedient servants and unworthy daughters in O[ur} L[ord]. FRAN~OISE CARCIREUX, Daughter ofCluuity Norbo","" August 23. 1660 Our Sisters are doing their duties fairly well. and God is honoring us with His blessing by the union existing among ourselves. Sister Anne wishes to talce her vows; she has spoken to us several times about this. Most Honored Father, I almostforgot to thankyoufor having hanored us several times with news ofyour dear self. It is an apt topic for Letter 31:u. - Archives ofthe Mission. Turin, original autograph letter. lAMe Denoual. -471- conversation andmeditation, ofwhich all three a/us make use, as we do ofyour dear letters. Andsince M des Jardins in his charity often givesyou news ofus. he makes up perfectlyfor my faults. Tlwt Is wilY I also have nothing to say. The above-mentioned demoiselles have managed-for what they be­ lieve are good reasons-to deprive us ofat least a large part ofthe good reputation God had given us with His Excellency 2 and those near him. Lastly. there are two cliques here. and It would appear thot they are trying adroitlyto strengthen theirposition. It seems, Most HonoredFather, thot M des Jardins has hod the gift ofprophecy. at least In this respect. God be blessed! Addressed: Monsieur Vincent. Superior General ofthe Mrssion. in the faubourg Saint-Denis, at Saint-Lazare, in Paris 3223.· MARIE-AGNES LE ROY TO SAINT VINCENT August 23. 1660 Live Jesus! Very Dear and Most Honored Father, I raised no objections with M de Lianne about giving him his dear daughters, since there was no opportunity to do so and no one had said anything to us on hispart. Ifsomeone had mentioned itto us, I wouldhave represented that we had refused permission to Madame de Sevignel for her daughter,l andfor that reason I heldfirm regarding everyone else, 2Franfilois FouqUel Letter 3123. ~ Archives ofthe Mission, Turin, original autograph letter. lMarie de Rabutin (1629-96), granddaughterofSaint Jane Franees de Chantal, was thewidow ofthe Marquis de S6vigne and a woman gifted with incomparable litenuy talent. Her letters have immortalized her name. (Cf. M. Monmcrque, Les grands ecrivains de France. Lettru de Madame de Sivigne, de safamille et de ses ami's (new cd, 14 vots., Paris: Hacbettc, 1862-66). She died in Grignan. 2franyoise-Margucritc de sevigne. There is no reason to doubt, as does Monmcrque, that Madame de sevigne's daughter, the future Comtcsse de Grignan, was a boarder at the Second Monastery ofthe Visitation. -472- such as the two daughters of the Chief Justice, J President Ame/ot's daughter, 4 andothers. In the case ofMadame de Sevigne, I hadeven told her that, because of the consequences for each, I would do nothing whatsoever to obtain thatpermission because everyone says thatthere are no other consequences in this situation, and they even tried to bring in M Joly to convince us on thatpoint. So It will be whatever you choose for the little Lianne girls but, ifthey go, then I think it will be a good ideafor you to give the samepermission to all the others. andto Madame de Sevignefor her daughter-in a word, to those eight who are wearing the little habit. They could wear caps and take offtheir little veils. The other two lay boarders who are with us, and the little Bouillon girl, j shoulda/so be included, ifthis is requested. Consider, Most Honored Father, whether you want to give us a word 0/reply to this, orwhetheryou prefer to wait until the parents come to you to request this permission. Tell us your wishes on this and1 will waitfor your instructions. 1 am, Most Honored Father, your most humble and very obedient daughter and servant in Our Lord SISTER MAJUE..AGNES LE Roy Blessed be God! Addressed: Monsieur Vincent, Superior General ofthe Congregation ofthe Mission 3At that time Guillaume de Lamoignon had four daughters, aged respectively fifteen, eleven, ten, and six: Marie married the Marecha! de Broglie; Madeleine became the wife ofAchille de Harlay, Chief Justice of the Parlement; and the two younger girls, Marie-Elisabeth and Anne-Elisabeth., became Visitation nuns. All four were boarders at the Second Monastery. This letter apparently refers to the two older girls. "Charles Amelot, Seigneur de Goumay. Presiding Judge ofthe Great Council, died in Paris on February 12, 1680.

OnApril24, 1668, she married Maximilien, Duke ofBavaria, brotheroftheElector; she died childless on June 20, 1706. -473- 3224. - ANNE DE SA WON I TO SAINT VINCENT Luxembourg,2 August 24,1660 Monsieur, Although I do not have the honor ofbeing known very well byyou, I still think you will be good enough to grant the humble petition I am presentingto you, which is to let me know through the bearer ofthis letter, whether the Daughters ofSainte-Ma,,'~ present their Superiors to the Bishops. Ifthis is the case, I would be even more gratefUl ifyou wouldlend me their letterfor a day or two. You probably realize, Monsieur, that I am asking thisfavorfor the secondwork ofthe late AbbJ! OIier, which is about to blossom, with the help ofGod, Some time ago, M de Bretonvillierss and I went to see you to discuss this with you, but your illness, Monsieur, prevented me from having this honor. M de Bretonvilliers. who discussed the matter with you, told me Letter 3224. - Archives ofthe Mission. Turin, original autograph letter. IAnne-Campet de Saujon, lady·in-waiting and lady of the bedchamber of the Duchesse d'OrICans. She was thought to wield considerable influence over Gaston, Due d'Orleans. In 1649 she entered Cannel., from which she was withdrawn against her will and brought back to the Court. AlthOUgh her director, Jean·Jacques Olier, to whom she often manifested her desire for the cloister, told her constantly to be patient and to await God's time, he felt she could be useful for a work he had in mind: the foundation ofa Community dedicated to the interior life ofMary, which would welcome well-to-do ladies who wanted to make a retreat. He shared his plan with Madame Tronson and Madame de Saujon and even advised them to give themselves to God for this purpose on January 19, 1654, in the church ofNotre-Dame. At the time ofthe Founder's death (April 2, 1657), the Rules of the new Institute had been drawn up. M. de Bretonvilliers, Olier's successor, with whom he had discussed it, did not let the project drop. In a house he had built for them on rue Garanciere, he brought together as a Community Madame Tronson, Madame de Saujon, Mademoiselled'Aubrai, and other persons ofdistinction. Madame Tronson became the first Superior; when she died, the office was given to Madame de Saujon, who held it for nine years. When the Archbishop removed her front that position because of complaints-which unfortunately were only too well-founded--she got her revenge by obtaining from the Court the suppression ofthe little Community. Jean·Jacques Olier had recommended that she never be given the highest office; only too late did people realize that they should have listened to him. (Cf.

Heritage Politics and Neglected Traditions: A Case-Study of Skellig Michael Máiréad Nic Craith This essay explores a case-study of World Heritage in the southwest of Ireland from an anthropological perspective with particular reference to changing relati- onships between local stakeholders, the Irish state party and UNESCO. It exa- mines the impetus for change in cultural practices at a local level and reactions to such impulses at national and international levels. Changing heritage practices at Skellig Michael reflect greater community involvement in the protection of heritage at local levels, as well as an evolving understanding of heritage in an international context. Moreover, the case-study illustrates the strong impact of ICOMOS (Inter- national Council on Monuments and Sites) in continuing to guide the state party in Ireland and its willingness to listen to local actors and experts. 1 World Heritage Sites in Ireland World Heritage status is highly prized. Apart from the international legitimacy and universality it confers on the value of a site, it is also viewed as a guarantor of au- thenticity or “global cultural currency” (Kaschuba 2008: 37).

  • The Pitiful King: Tears, Blood, and Family in Revolutionary Royalism
    The Pitiful King: Tears, Blood, and Family in Revolutionary Royalism Victoria Murano Submitted to Professors Lisa Jane Graham and Linda Gerstein In partial fulfillment of the requirement of History 400: Senior Thesis Seminar Murano 1 Abstract When the French Revolution erupted in 1789, revolutionaries strove to foster a sense of freedom of expression, guaranteeing a brief freedom of the press. The eleventh article of the 1791 Declaration of the Rights of Man asserts that “The free communication of thoughts and opinions is one of man’s most precious rights; all citizens may therefore speak, write, print freely, except to answer for the abuse of this liberty in cases determined by law.” However, as France became further embroiled in the Revolution, it abandoned its allegiance to the universality of these rights, propagating pro-republican thought, and persecuting anyone who did not share these views. The royalist press was a major concern to the new republican government, because it continued to speak out in support of the king and criticize the Revolution. The existence of royalist journalists and writers thus posed a problem for revolutionaries who wanted to establish a monolithically-minded republic. Therefore, over time, they enacted repressive censorship and punishment to crack down on royalist sympathizers. Although they sent many royalist writers to prison or the guillotine, the revolutionaries ultimately failed to silence their political enemies. This thesis uses newspapers, images, and other printed media to explore royalist coverage of three events that diminished royal power: Louis XVI’s flight to Varennes in June 1791, his execution in January 1793, and the death of his nine-year-old son and heir, Louis XVII, in June 1795.

AUGUST 29, 2021 DOERS OF THE WORD The second reading for today begins a ive-week series of selections from James, a letter that is classiied among the so-called “catholic” (or universal) epistles because they are addressed to a general audience rather than to one particular community. Today’s text offers important advice for Christians of every generation. God is irst cited as the author of all gifts, and in particular, reference is made to the gift of baptism by which we have been made the “first fruits” of the new creation. What follows is advice based on a very Jewish under- standing of the “word” as an active force, operative in the world. We are reminded that unless we, too, become “doers” of the word, our claim to faith is empty. Today and in subsequent weeks the author reminds us that it is equally important to do the “works” of love, for example, by caring for the “orphans and widows in their afliction.” Copyright © J.

L’affaire Tartuffe (avec Jean Lacouture) paru aux éditions Fayard en 2006), ce qui explique qu’il les ait interrompus à la fin de l’année qui a vu la création publique de Tartuffe après presque cinq années d’interdiction.

Nous le publions donc sur le site MOLIÈRE 21, après avoir simplement adapté la mise en pages (passée du mode « paysage » au mode « portrait ») et supprimé, comme il nous l’avait demandé, ceux de ses commentaires personnels qui constituaient des jalons d’attente pour une recherche plus approfondie (« à développer », « à confirmer », etc.).

A Mystery of Belonging: Original Ownership of the Portland State University Book of Hours Shirleanne Ackerman Gahan Many famous French Books of Hours were commissioned by kings, queens, and other members of the nobility. These patrons owned beautifully crafted Books of Hours that have been the subject of much scholarly research. Towards the end of the fifteenth century, people of lesser social status, such as clerics, merchants, and civil servants were also able to acquire Books of Hours.1 Their books were often “less carefully designed,” with fewer illuminations, and purchased on the open market of Paris, which was the center of book production during this time.2 Sometimes bourgeois patrons wrote their names in their Books of Hours as a sort of record keeping for births, baptisms, marriages, and deaths.3 Determining patronage of bourgeois Books of Hours becomes a complex task for historians when there are no identifying marks within the book.

  • On Some Diseases Bearing Names of Saints
    ON SOME DISEASES BEARING NAMES OF SAINTS. Robert Fletcher, M.D. Columbia and Bristol, M.R.C.S. Late Principal Assistant Librarian, Surgeon-General's Office, Washington, D.C., U.S.A. ^'hile the history of medicine has been written with diligence and research in various languages, and in some instances in a Portentous number of volumes, there are still many unexplored byways which may lead to discoveries of interest, though they 111 aV be of no striking importance. The folk-lore of different Peoples, popular superstitions in regard to disease, allusions to Medicine in the old chroniclers, poets and dramatists, have c?ntributed something of value to the history of medicine, and *? a knowledge of the estimation of the physician in the popular ^ind. Among these outlying subjects for research the association of diseases with the names of the early saints and Martyrs of the Christian Church offers a field which has been ^ut little explored. I have been accustomed for many years to make notes of allusions in this direction, and the quantity thus obtained is really surprising. I have made no search for ^esethese references, butb may say of them as Falstaff said of ^?tspur's revolt? " Rebellion lay in his way, and he found it." ^ few remarks upon the general subject, with illustrations from s?ttie of the more prominent diseases which have been thus Pr?vided with names, will, I trust, prove not uninteresting. The printed works of the hagiographers, such as the Aurea ^enda, the Catalogus Sanctorum of Peter de Natalibus, Alban ^utler's Lives of the Saints, the more recent work of Baring- J?uld, and above all that monument of pious industry and GSearch, the great Bollandist compilation, the Acta Sanctorum, ^hich has now reached to nearly seventy-five folio volumes, L 296 DR.
