Sujet(s) : Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : Although some learned lay people might have owned theological and doctrinal books in sixteenth-century France, women’s access to such scholarly knowledge was the exception. Notarial acts signed by S. Habert (1559–1633) reveal that women had access to the Greek Bible and treatises of an exegetic, neo-scholastic, and controversial nature. We shed light on the local context in which women had some religious authority, and the male judgements about the fact that a woman could have the knowledge of a director or a preacher during the post-Tridentine period.
