| Item Description: | Item number 31, from the 'Memoires of Abraham Tessereau' v.1 Numbers 339-346 "ou 459" in ink at top of pages. Other numbers written in ink on the pages have been crossed out. Summary of the text : The valley of Pragelas is described as a barren region where people live in poverty and too freely because there are no nobles or clerics. The Reformed religion has taken over this region and is mixed with witchcraft and murder. The decree of April 1, 1629 of Louis XIII ordered the reintegration of the Catholic religion in this region as required by the Edict of Nantes. Missionaries settle in and Catholicism gradually takes its place but more resources are required to carry out the mission. |
