Sixteenth- and seventeenth-century women of the middling and lower levels of society left no letters or diaries in which they expressed what they felt or thought. Criminal courts and magistrates kept few records of their testimonies, and no ecclesiastical court records are known to survive for the French Roman Catholic Church between 1540 and 1667. For the most part, we cannot hear the voices of ordinary French women-- but this study allows us to do so. Based on the evidence of 1,200 cases brought before the consistories, or moral courts, of the Huguenot church of Languedoc between 1561 and 1615, The Voices of NiÌmes allows us to access ordinary women's everyday lives: their speech, behavior, and attitudes relating to love, faith, and marriage, as well as friendship and sex. Women appeared frequently before the consistory because one of the chief functions of moral discipline was the regulation of sexuality, and women were thought to be primarily responsible for sexual sin. This means that the registers include over a thousand testimonies by and about women, most of whom left no other record to posterity"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical refererences (pages 339-360) and index. 505 0 $a Introduction -- Landscape -- The pursuit of morality -- Belief -- Social relations -- Love and marriage -- Sex -- The trials of marriage -- Conclusion. 650 0 $a Women $z Languedoc $z Languedoc $x History $y Renaissance, 1450-1600. 650 0 $a Women $z Languedoc $z Languedoc $x History $y Modern period, 1600- 651 0 $a Languedoc (France) $x History $y 16th century. 651 0 $a Languedoc (France) $x History $y 17th century. 651 0 $a NiÌmes (France) $x History. 650 7 $a Women $x Modern period. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01907281 650 7 $a Women $x Renaissance. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01906677 651 7 $a France $z Languedoc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210196 648 7 $a Since 1450 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211025216.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5E3390A00B6411EAA467CE0D97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
