- Each of the 82 extracts in the book is dedicated to a particular type of document.
- The framework selected is the history of Liège, from its beginnings until the end of the Ancien Régime
A quadruple inquiry
Each extract has one individual goal, which it approaches through four questions:
- How does one define this type of document: what is it?
- How does the historian examine this document: what can one look for?
- What is the document that has been chosen as an example: what is its transmission and context? Is it an example or an exception?
- How can one highlight the contribution of this document to the history of Liège.
An insight to the heart of the document
- The book, which has been printed with care, is illustrated so that the document can be seen and understood.
- A selected extract is displayed, transcribed or exhibited. A translation accompanies the texts that are in Latin.
Sample extract: Monastic Chronicle
