About This Book

The author investigates the origin and early centuries of a city in Provence, challenging recent conjectures about its name and antiquity. He compares earlier historians' claims with archival charters, manuscripts, and material remains, assessing the strength of etymological and documentary evidence. The study critiques speculative interpretations, proposes alternative readings of place-names and inscriptions, and reconstructs aspects of medieval urban layout and monuments. Concise notes and isolated memoirs are offered to correct errors and provide a foundation for future local histories.
