Huguenot Population of France, 1600-1685
The Demographic Fate and Customs of a Religious Minority Transactions, American Philosophical Society (vol. 81, Part 5)
Description:... This vol. has been built upon all of the known parish register & census evidence bearing upon the changing size of France’s Huguenot population over the course of the period between the Edict of Nantes & its Revocation -- specifically, upon census figures or annual totals of baptisms for any Protestant church or community for which such evidence spans 40 or more years of the cent. This national investigation is offered in the hope that it can help to stimulate more of the detailed local studies of individual Protestant communities & of the relations between their members & their Catholic neighbors that are needed to illuminate these variations, as well as to highlight those regions where such studies might be particularly fruitful. Charts & tables.
