Le livre commode des adresses de Paris pour 1692, tome 1/2

A practical directory of Parisian addresses and services is presented alongside a scholarly introduction that traces the evolution of urban guides and intermediaries from ancient ciceroni and Roman nomenclators to medieval charities and commercial brokers. The work combines useful contact information for visitors and residents with historical commentary on agents who arranged lodgings, placements, and introductions, and it includes appendices and annotations that clarify institutional practices and social customs in the city.
