| Summary: | Jeannede Jussie (1503–61) was a nun in the Convent of Saint Clare during the fraught transition of Geneva to a Protestant city (a process that she documents between the years 1526 and 1536, when the community was forced to leave the city). Her Short Chronicle was first published 50 years after her death, in 1611; another three editions followed before the Revolution, and several in the nineteenth century. In the late twentieth century critical interest in Jussie’s writing has grown, culminating in Helmut Feld’s full critical edition of the text (Petite Chronique, Von Zabern, 1996), upon which Carrie Klaus’s translation is based. Indeed the title used above originates with Feld, who derived it from comments made by Jussie within her untitled text. |
