| Resumo: | The author analyzes the two historiographic concepts of concord and tolerance as revealed in theological and political debates in France during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. In particular, an examination of legislative texts from 1560 up to 1685 reveals a kind of alternation between two attitudes of the government: a measure of relative toleration of Protestant worship would be followed periodically by a measure of concord or religious reunification under Roman Catholic supervision (the revocation of the Edict of Nantes is the most important). In spite of their similarity, concord and tolerance possessed different historiographic meanings and led to political programs that were quite different from each other and sometimes even opposed. In the work of historiographic explanation it is essential that historians distinguish clearly different types of concord and tolerance. |
