| Summary: | A keen insistence upon moral order and the enforcement of proper conduct has long been associated with the Calvinist Reformation. The church and consistory at Nimes offer a useful case study. Analysis of 1624 cases suggests the major areas of consistorial concern: ecclesiastical transgressions; difficulties relating to marriage; verbal and physical disputes; behavioral offenses to include dancing, carousing and gaming; and sexual misconduct. A distinct picture of the consistory's notions of right and wrong emerges and, at the same time, the details of these offenses provide rich insight into daily existence. |
