“…49 Lastly, of course, modern civil courts were led to see to requests on the part of litigants which go beyond dispute resolution, having to do with the certification of rights and contracts. 50 And indeed, the Admiralty court represented one of the major pole in the local topography of transactions, even if social actors tended to turn to it as a last resort, following a profound disagreement regarding the value of a debt or the binding nature of a commitment, for instance. 51 *** One major conclusion to be drawn from the overview of civil procedures involving innkeepers and alehouse owners in cases connected with the fishing world is that this is certainly a very fertile and fairly uncharted topic of research, which, through closer scrutiny of local archives, could be explored in a more in-depth way.…”

Anyone dealing with popular culture will very soon come across public houses', the French historian Daniel Roche wrote in an article published 30 years ago. 1 Starting from an observation which he had already made in his book Le Peuple de Paris, that 'the link between public houses and the transgression of norms is all too often overstated, when in fact they are a mere component of daily life', he recommended paying closer attention to the more mundane aspects of this institution, so central to Old Regime societies. 2 In the wake of the research carried out by Maurice Agulhon on Provencal barrack rooms, Roche thus intended to locate his analysis of Paris's public houses within a cultural history of the forms and rituals of popular sociability in the eighteenth century. 3 However, since he was attuned to all the social uses of these venues, Roche also highlighted in this article-albeit in passing-the wide range of economic, commercial and professional activities taking place within public houses and insisted in particular on the ways in which agents from the world of Parisian crafts made use of them. 4 In other words, he identified public houses as a historical object of prime importance, and acted as a trailblazer by laying the foundations of an inquiry into the place and role of public houses in Old Regime France. Nonetheless, and in spite of the fact that Thomas Brennan's book Public Drinking and Popular Culture in Eighteenth-Century Paris (1988) has since confirmed and clarified the picture set out by Roche in the early 1980s, the world of public houses has hardly drawn the attention of French historians since then, and it is fair to claim that it now represents a blind spot in the historiography of modern France. 5 This observation is all the more striking if one considers not only the past importance, but also the current vitality and ongoing renewal of this field of research in European historiography, notably in Germany and Britain. Among the most noteworthy contributions made by this literature about public houses in modern Europe, it is important to stress, first, the elaboration-beyond the various institutional and geographical situations-of a shared terminology. The generic term 'public house', * I'm grateful to editors for their advice and comments, and also to Beat Kümin for reading a first draft of the text and providing me with references.

A reassessment of the role of guild courts in disputes over apprenticeship contracts: a case study from early modern Italy

This article analyses the mechanisms of conflict resolution in apprenticeship contracts using a large database of disputes from early modern Italy. It finds that the guild court under investigation (the Padua Woollen Guild court) did not enforce training contracts, but rather sought to improve on incomplete contracts by adding clauses, thereby helping individuals renegotiate and redefine the contractual arrangements into which they had decided to enter. However, power relations within the court operated largely in favour of employers, both merchants and master craftsmen. The article concludes that alternative contract enforcement systems, such as municipal or state courts, were probably better suited than corporative systems for resolving disputes surrounding apprenticeship.
