Aspects socio-culturels des conflits religieux à Paris dans la seconde moitié du XVIe siècle

This study attempts to elucidate the socio-cultural aspects of the conflicts between the Reformation and the Counter-Reformation in Paris during the second half of the 16th century. It seemed to the author that beneath the confessional split, yet another split could be discerned : the struggle to acculturate the masses, at first carried on by the Reformation (from 1555 to 1560) was taken over victoriously by the elite of the Catholic Counter-Reformation at the time of the Ligue. From 1588 to 1594 an ethico-religious system came into being which opened the way for the century of saints.Richet Denis.
