Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book exhaustively examines the origins of primary education in France before the Revolution, and dispels the myth that formal education was absent or inaccessible to the majority of French citizens during the Middle Ages. The author delves into a wide range of resources, including ecclesiastical visitations, school registers, and municipal records, to demonstrate that elementary schools were widespread in both urban and rural settings throughout the period. The book traces the evolving role of the Church and the State in establishing and regulating these schools, highlighting the importance placed on literacy and education by society at the time. It challenges the notion that the Middle Ages were a period of intellectual darkness, and sheds new light on the educational landscape of pre-revolutionary France.
