Judiciary Inquiries in the Old Namur County, Source of Rural History.
Judiciary inquiries recorded the declarations of the witnesses who were heard during the instruction of the trials. The drafts filed up in the offices of the clerks of the courts. Those of the Council of Namur, the main judiciary institution of the old Namur County, dating from the 15th to the 18th century, were classified and an analytical inventory was published on the collection. Those documents represent an especially valuable source of information. The present article was meant to emphasize its essential elements about past country life, as well on the level of justice and society as on the level of economy and technology. It intended to underline a few new prospects for historical research in this field. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
