Book Description
This work offers for the first time a complete list of all books published wholly or partially in the French language before 1601. Based on twelve years of investigations in libraries in France, the United Kingdom, the United States, Germany, the Netherlands and elsewhere, it provides an analytical short-title catalogue of over 52,000 bibliographically distinct items, with reference to surviving copies in over 1,600 libraries worldwide. Many of the items described are editions and even complete texts fully unknown and re-discovered by the project. French Vernacular Books is an invaluable research tool for all students and scholars interested in the history, culture and literature of France, as well as historians of the early modern book world. For vols. III & IV please go to French Books III & IV.

Book Description
Curieusement, si les ouvrages consacrés aux femmes abondent, ils n'offrent que peu d'éléments sur la relation conjugale. En Asie, comme ailleurs, les enjeux du mariage sont culturellement construits et délimitent la faible marge de manoeuvre laissée à la femme. Les auteurs se sont attachés à comprendre si, malgré les limites qui leur sont assignées, les femmes disposent d'un pouvoir comparable à celui des hommes. Les sources écrites et les matériaux ethnographiques utilisés traitent principalement des groupes majoritaires de la région : Birmans, Chinois Han, Coréens, Lao, Thaïs, Vietnamiens et Bengalis.
