Archives de la Bastille offers a detailed glimpse into the infamous Parisian prison during the early 18th century. Compiled by Louis Jean F lix Ravaisson-Mollien, this collection presents invaluable primary source material for understanding the political and social climate of France leading up to the French Revolution.
Spanning the years 1702-1710, the archives reveal the stories of the prisoners, the reasons for their imprisonment, and the conditions they endured. These documents shed light on the arbitrary nature of justice under the ancien r gime and the oppressive atmosphere that fueled revolutionary fervor.
Researchers and historians will find this volume an essential resource for studying French history, law, and the lives of those confined within the walls of the Bastille.
