Les protestants à Nîmes au temps de l'Édit de Nantes by Jacques Boulenger

"Les protestants à Nîmes au temps de l'Édit de Nantes" by Jacques Boulenger is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The text focuses on the organization and dynamics of the Protestant community in Nîmes during a significant period in French history, marked by the Edict of Nantes which aimed to bring peace between Catholics and Protestants. It explores various aspects of Protestant life, including their political assemblies, ecclesiastical structure, and interactions with the local Catholic population. The opening of the work lays a foundation for understanding the socio-political landscape of the Protestant community in Nîmes. It discusses the reorganization of the Protestant party at Sainte-Foy in 1594, the establishment of their assembly structures, and the pivotal role of the consistories that governed local congregations. The author outlines the relationships within the Protestant community and their dealings with Catholic authorities, hinting at the complexities of cohabitation amidst religious strife. Through this groundwork, Boulenger aims to address questions about the Protestants’ societal status and political strategies during a turbulent time in French history.
