This book is a study of the charitable institutions of one French town, Aix-en-Provence. It begins with their foundation during the Counter-Reformation and ends with their dissolution during the Revolution. It details the impulses behind their foundation and describes how they were financed and administered. It also explores the lives of the people they helped. The study is based primarily on surviving records of the charities. These are the same sort of records that charitable institutions today accumulate: entrance registers, minutes of board meetings, account books, and fund-raising pamphlets. Records of the local and central government and court records were also consulted. One purpose of this study is to bring readers closer to the reality of the problem of poverty in Old Regime France. Another purpose is to historicize contemporary perceptions of poverty in the minds of French historical actors.Chapter 1 outlines the social and economic makeup of Aix-en-Provence. Chapter 2 deals with the attitudes and assumptions behind the foundation of the charities. Chapter 3 describes how the institutions were administered and financed, and the many important roles they played in the community at large. Chapter 4 describes the types of assistance available to the poor and the types of people who received it. Chapter 5 discusses the most important alternatives to charity for the needy?beggary and crime. After 1760, the traditional charities entered a period of decline. Both the economic and social realities of poverty, and popular perceptions of those realities, changed drastically after 1760. Flooded by increasing numbers of the poor, paralyzed financially because of declining donations and general mismanagement, repudiated by public opinion, and subject to increasing control by the state, the charities were ineffective and indeed almost moribund after 1760. Chapters 6 and 7 detail these developments. 410 0$aJohns Hopkins University studies in historical and political science ;$v94th ser., 1. 606 $aFürsorge$2gnd$3(DE-588)4018801-2 606 $aArmut$2gnd$3(DE-588)4002963-3 606 $aSocial history$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01919811 606 $aPoor$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01071040 606 $aCharities$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00852404 606 $aOeuvres de bienfaisance$zFrance$zAix-en-Provence 606 $aPoverty$xHistory$3(DNLM)D011203Q000266 606 $aCharities$xHistory$3(DNLM)D002608Q000266 606 $aPoor$zFrance$zAix-en-Provence$xHistory 606 $aCharities$zFrance$zAix-en-Provence$xHistory 607 $aAix-en-Provence$2gnd 607 $aFrance$zAix-en-Provence$2fast 607 $aAix-en-Provence (France)$xPauvres 607 $aAix-en-Provence (France)$xSocial conditions 608 $aHistory. 615 7$aFürsorge. 615 7$aArmut. 615 0$aSocial history. 615 0$aPoor. 615 0$aCharities. 615 0$aOeuvres de bienfaisance 615 0$aPoverty$xHistory. 615 0$aCharities$xHistory. 615 0$aPoor$xHistory. 615 0$aCharities$xHistory. 676 $a362.5/0944/91 700 $aFairchilds$b Cissie C.$0140256 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910524852003321 996 $aPoverty and Charity in Aix-en-Provence, 1640-1789$92676805 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01969nas 2200541-a 450 001 9910891496003321 005 20260218111305.0 011 $a0074-1564 035 $a(CKB)110992357266800 035 $a(CONSER)---77279667- 035 $a(DE-599)ZDB3094234-2 035 $a(DE-599)3094234-2 035 $a(EXLCZ)99110992357266800 100 $a20780309b19702016 --- a 101 0 $ahrv 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aCroatica 210 $aZagreb $cIzdava?ki zavod Jugoslavenske akademie$d1970- 210 3 $aZagreb 215 $a1 online resource 300 $a"Prinosi prou?avanju hrvatske knji?evnosti." 311 08$aPrint version: Croatica. 0070-1564 (DLC) 77279667 (OCoLC)3699334 531 1 $aCroatica 606 $aCroatian literature$xHistory and criticism$vPeriodicals 606 $a18.58 Serbo-Croatian language and/or literature$3(NL-LeOCL)169928462$2bcl 606 $aCroatian literature$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00883807 606 $aBellettrie (teksten)$2gtt 606 $aServo-Kroatisch$2gtt 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc.$2fast 608 $aPeriodicals.$2fast 608 $aBelles-lettres (texts)$2gtt 615 0$aCroatian literature$xHistory and criticism 615 7$a18.58 Serbo-Croatian language and/or literature. 615 7$aCroatian literature. 615 17$aBellettrie (teksten) 615 17$aServo-Kroatisch. 712 02$aSavjet projekta povijesti hrvatske knjiz?evnosti. 712 02$aSveuc?ilis?te u Zagrebu.$bInstitut za znanost o knjiz?evnosti. 712 02$aJugoslavenska akademija znanosti i umjetnosti.$bInstitut za knjiz?evnost i teatrologiju. 712 02$aHrvatsko filolos?ko drus?tvo. 712 02$aSveuc?ilis?te u Zagrebu.$bOdsjek za kroatistiku. 906 $aJOURNAL 912 $a9910891496003321 920 $aexl_impl conversion 996 $aCroatica$93365625 997 $aUNINA
