Chapitre 7. Réforme catholique et influences jansénistes

A unique insight into the intellectual and spiritual landscape of Chartres Cathedral's chapter during the late 17th century emerges from post-mortem inventories spanning 1688 to 1699. These archives, housed in Eure-et-Loir, reveal a gradual assimilation of Catholic Reform ideals, often tinged with Jansenist influences, among the cathedral's clergy. The study provides a nuanced understanding of how these theological currents shaped the daily lives and aspirations of the chapter members, offering a rare glimpse into their material possessions and spiritual preoccupations.
