Présentation de l'éditeur : "En août 1657, quatre sulpiciens venus de Paris s'installent à Ville- Marie, au Canada. Ainsi commence, il y a 350 ans, l'aventure de Saint-Sulpice de Montréal. Éducation, charité publique, direction des âmes, organisation des paroisses, missionnaires et seigneurs de l'île, mécènes culturels : les Sulpiciens, hommes d'action et de goût, oeuvrent sur tous les fronts et sont étroitement associés à l'histoire de Montréal. Mais ils opèrent dans l'humilité et la discrétion propres à leur vocation religieuse. Aussi leur histoire restait-elle à écrire. C'est maintenant chose faite grâce aux travaux des historiens laïques ici réunis. Ceux-ci ont eu librement accès à des archives qui comptent parmi les plus anciennes au Canada. L'ouvrage fort documenté et richement illustré qui en résulte n'est pas seulement une référence. Il est aussi une invitation à entreprendre un périple dans une histoire méconnue, non exempte de soubresauts. C'est que tout en vivant leur sacerdoce sous le regard de Dieu, les Sulpiciens de Montréal entendaient aussi - entendent toujours - vivre ici-bas, parmi les hommes"

Based largely on the Fifteenth Annual Report of the U.S. Department of Labor, published in 1900, we have built a sample of wages and hours for roughly fifty countries in six continents that covers the period 1890-1900. The Report, which is drawn from official (national) publications, gives information on normal or usual hours and earnings per week at the establishment level. To our knowledge, this is the most extensive data set of its kind totaling about 15,000 observations. We combine the data set with other country-specific evidence to derive implications about labour supply. The data reveal a cross-country supply curve that was markedly backward-bending. In addition, for a given wage level, we find a positive relation between a country's per-capita income and work hours. We interpret the patterns by proposing a standard utility function in consumption and hours of work, where a minimal level of consumption is introduced as a constraint. We interpret that minimum more broadly than biological subsistence. Rather minimal consumption is assumed to increase with the average income of a country. We also explore the possible role of climate in affecting the consumption constraint. Given the size of the data set, although coverage is uneven, we are able to estimate labour supply curves within countries and regions, in addition to making overall comparisons of work hours across countries. Our preliminary work suggests that a consumption constraint played a key role in the negative relation between wages and hours of work within countries, and that across countries higher average incomes, which effectively raised the constraint, promoted greater work hours.

Recounting the history of everyday life in its various forms poses different problems in regard to the time period under examination and the scholarly approach being taken. While French "histoire des mentalités" remained on the level of the abstract, other schools - Italian, German and British - returned the emphasis to the individual, the ordinary citizen confronted by the many trivial necessities of everyday life. The telling of Quebec's religious history became part of this social historical trend. Exploring archives which evoked the ordinary life of the parishes, these historians described a concrete religion, inseparable from forms of local sociability. Another kind of history of everyday life is possible, however: one that seeks not to make sense of ordinary events, but to produce a history of the category itself, and of its incorporation. It involves, in fact, a renewed emphasis on structure and its evolution, a history of defined time, represented and experienced through repetition. Taken from this perspective, religious history has much from which to benefit.

The historiography of the Early Mamluk Circassian period is prolific but has not yet received proper scholarly attention. For the first time, this study examines in a comprehensive manner the key sources for the reign of al-Zāhir Barqūq (784-91, 792-801/1382-9, 1390-9) in terms of their originality and importance. By means of a systematic analysis of the annals of three different years, it provides a critical evaluation of published and manuscript primary sources, identifies the nature of the interdependence amongst authors, and sheds new light on the craft of historical writing. This book fills a critical gap in the scholarship on Mamluk historiography. The author not only assesses the production of well-known historians (Ibn Khaldūn, Ibn al-Furāt, al-Maqrīzī, Ibn Taghrībirdī, etc.), but also studies pivotal authors (Ibn Duqmâq, Ibn Hijjī, etc.) whose works has been up until now either ignored or unknown.
