The paper examines the spread of sharecropping that followed a wave of investment in agriculture in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century France. Using results from the modern theory of share contracts, it argues that sharecropping was a means of risk sharing that favored both landlords and tenants. Although the evidence used in this paper comes from France, the results may well apply to other areas of early modern Europe.

Spontaneous human combustion shocked and confused people in early modern France. Without a body to examine or eyewitness reports savants had diffi culty determining its causes. Nonetheless, people like Claude-Nicolas Le Cat and Pierre-Aimé Lair, sought to determine the causes of these events and provide a logical explanation for their appearance. This article analyzes the various arguments used by scholars to help rationalize a phenomenon that was simultaneously a medical conundrum and a holdover from the age of marvels and wonders.

AbstractThis article sketches the history of the mediation of linguistic difference in the context of judicial torture in early modern France. It argues that language represented an important dimension of what took place in the torture chambers of early modern Europe. Embedded within multilingual societies and habitually confronted with linguistic difference, tribunals developed an array of mediation practices. Shaped by officials’ scribal and linguistic practices and their infliction of pain in order to establish judicial facts, their linguistic choices also shed light on how jurists conceived of and set out uncovering the truth.
