About This Book

The volume functions as a practical directory of Parisian commercial life in the late seventeenth century, listing addresses, trades, and market locations alongside concise descriptions of goods, production methods, prices, and regulatory practices. Entries are organized by office or commodity—epiceries, chandlers, salt granaries, drapers, fruiterers—and note guild privileges, disputes, and legal decisions affecting trade. Appendices and editorial annotations provide historical context and cross-references, making the work both a street-level business register and a handbook of urban supply, manufacture, and market customs.
