About This Book
The study surveys the political and religious fate of Strasbourg's cathedral over the revolutionary years 1789–1802, tracing conflicts between refractory and oath‑sworn clergy, municipal decisions, and popular pressures that produced profanation, removal of ornamentation and liturgical objects, and temporary reuse as storage, military space and revolutionary cult sites dedicated to Reason and the Supreme Being, before its return to Christian worship. Drawing on municipal minutes, society records, pamphlets and archival papers, it reconstructs institutional measures, public passions and isolated acts of citizen intervention that shaped the building's material and moral history during the crisis.
