Description

English summary: From the end of the Middle Ages to the Revolution, the way of writing French evolved greatly, with the written form evolving faster than spelling or grammar. To read original French sources -- from royal charters to the most humble parish registers -- it is essential for researchers to master certain techniques and rules. This practice, known as paleography, is precisely what this book teaches. The Palaeography Dictionary is intended for a wide and varied audience: students, genealogists, academics, historians, beginners, or amateurs fascinated by local or national history. The most commonly used terms in the sources are sometimes also the most difficult to read or interpret as they are often abbreviated or lost in obscure writing formulas. With more than 2,500 entries, 12,000 examples, and 15,000 illustrations, this text provides examples that aide in showing the associations between words and ideas that are most frequent in historical documents from this period. French description: De la fin du Moyen age a la Revolution, la facon d'ecrire le francais a beaucoup evolue, et le trace des lettres encore plus rapidement que l'orthographe ou la grammaire. Pour lire les sources originales de l'histoire de France, de la charte royale au plus humble registre paroissial, il est indispensable de maitriser certains codes et certaines regles: c'est ce qu'enseigne la paleographie. Le Dictionnaire de paleographie s'adresse a un public nombreux et varie: etudiants, genealogistes, universitaires, historiens confirmes ou debutants, amateurs d'histoire locale ou nationale. Concu comme un ouvrage de base, il s'adresse aussi bien a l'erudit qu'au simple curieux. Plus commode qu'un manuel, il est le compagnon ideal du chercheur en salle de lecture. Il se laisse egalement feuilleter avec plaisir: comme tout dictionnaire, il offre un tresor d'associations de mots et d'images, de decouvertes inattendues. Plus de 2 500 entrees, 12 000 exemples et 15 000 illustrations: la paleographie est d'abord un plaisir visuel. Certains mots font encore l'objet de planches particulieres: autre, faire, icelui, Jehan, maitre, pour, present, que... Il ne s'agit en aucun cas d'un dictionnaire de mots rares! Ce sont au contraire les termes les plus courants qui sont les plus difficiles a lire ou a interpreter, parce qu'ils sont ecrits en abrege ou perdus dans des formules au sens obscur. Les exemples sont la pour montrer les associations de mots et d'idees les plus frequentes dans les actes de procedure ou de la pratique notariale. Regler une querelle de voisinage, obtenir un degrevement d'impots, passer un contrat de travail, organiser une succession: ces soucis de la vie quotidienne etaient egalement ceux de nos ancetres, et nous sommes nombreux a vouloir en retrouver le temoignage dans des liasses et des registres parfois tres anciens. Les archives publiques sont ouvertes a tous, et ce dictionnaire vous aidera a remonter le temps, peut-etre bien au-dela de ce que vous esperiez. Archivistes-paleographes, conservateurs du patrimoine, les auteurs sont charges depuis plus de dix ans du cours de paleographie organise aux Archives departementales du Val-de-Marne. Parallelement a cette deuxieme edition revue et completee du Dictionnaire de paleographie francaise, ils publient dans la meme collection Sources aux Belles Lettres un Manuel de paleographie francaise.
