Excerpt from De la Condition Juridique des Protestants Après la Révocation de l'Edit de Nantes
Les guerres de religion qui déchirèrent la France pendantla seconde moitié du xv1c siècle ont assuré ment eu leur cause dans les persécutions contre les réformés, mais elles eurent aussi une origine et un caractère politique. La société raffinée et corrompue du xvre siècle, n'était plus animée du même enthou siasme religieux que les bandes armées conquérantes de Jérusalem au temps de ferveur des croisades. Les rivalités politiques, surtout celles des Guise, des Bour bon, des Montmorency sont une autre cause de discorde que les questions de présence réelle ou de libre arbitre En face de la race abâtardie des derniers Va lois, se dresse, pleine de promesses, la maison de Bour bon, qui finira par triompher aprés un demi-siècle d'anarchie; la lutte religieuse n'a souvent été qu'un prétexte choisi pour dissimuler l'ambition des uns ou les calculs des autres.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the legal status of French Protestants following the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685. The Edict had granted a degree of religious toleration, but its revocation marked a return to persecution. The author analyzes the legal texts and examines the consequences of the revocation, particularly regarding civil status, marriage, and legitimacy. The book highlights the precarious legal situation of Protestants, who were forced to resort to subterfuge or abjuration to secure the validity of their marriages. The author also discusses the efforts of some officials and religious leaders to find a solution to the issue of Protestant marriages, and the ultimate failure of these efforts. The book offers a valuable insight into the challenges faced by religious minorities during a period of intense persecution.
