Qui est le notaire ? Quelle est sa formation, sa pratique quotidienne du métier ? Quels sont les liens que cet acteur de la justice civile a su tisser avec la société, le milieu de la judicature, les institutions, les pouvoirs, l'État du haut Moyen Âge à la fin de l'époque moderne ? Telles sont les questions auxquelles tente de répondre cet ouvrage qui prête une attention particulière à l'Europe occidentale (France, Italie, Portugal, Espagne et les « Indes », Suisse et Catalogne). Privilégiant une lecture plurielle, renouvelée et différenciée, selon les temps et les espaces, du notaire, de l'activité notariale et des actes, les études réunies ici permettent de saisir à la fois les techniques et le savoir-faire mis en œuvre par ce professionnel du droit, dont le rôle de médiateur assumé au sein de la Cité et des sociétés rurales anciennes est fondamental. Les analyses ainsi conduites mettent en lumière aussi bien l'existence de conflits politiques, sociaux et institutionnels dont le notaire est le centre, qu'elles révèlent les contours de l'identité professionnelle conférée par cette activité essentielle dans les sociétés d'Ancien Régime. Praticien du droit, au service des pouvoirs citadins et des familles, du VIIIe au XVIIIe siècle, le notaire figure au cœur des mécanismes de régulation liés à l'infrajudiciaire tout comme à la pacification des dissensions, en favorisant le recours à la justice institutionnelle et le maintien de l'ordre.

The plague outbreak of 1636 in Newcastle-upon-Tyne was one of the most devastating in English history. This hugely moving study looks in detail at its impact on the city through the eyes of a man who stayed as others fled: the scrivener Ralph Tailor.As a scrivener Tailor was responsible for many of the wills and inventories of his fellow citizens. By listening to and writing down the final wishes of the dying, the young scrivener often became the principal provider of comfort in people's last hours. Drawing on the rich records left by Tailor during the course of his work along with many other sources, Keith Wrightson vividly reconstructs life in the early modern city during a time of crisis and envisions what such a calamitous decimation of the population must have meant for personal, familial, and social relations.
