The article presents an analysis concerning the liturgical life and religious practices at the Norman Cathédrale Notre Dame d'Évreux in France during the Catholic Reformation toward the end of the 17th century. The author discusses how the cathedral's death registers were used to research the history concerning special devotions during the Counter Reformation. Topics of discussion include the cathedral's chapter and canons, religious foundations, cathedral masses and memorial services held in honor of the deceased, and social prestige. Also discussed is the memorial service of the ancient canon Jacques Postel. Regional archives from the Eure region of France including obituary founders and liturgical notions are included. |
