Correspondence between historians Mathiez and Chobaut

Correspondence from the historian Albert Mathiez, addressed to Hyacinthe Chobaut, archivist of Vaucluse and historian. It consists of 11 signed autograph letters and three envelopes.

Fascinating correspondence relating to their respective work and research, covering three periods of Mathiez's career: the Faculty of Letters in Besançon (professor; 1911), the chair of modern and contemporary history in Dijon (holder; from 1919 to 1926) and the chair of history of the French Revolution at the Sorbonne (substitute; 1926).

Mathiez mentions his research and work (the French Revolution, the Terror, Robespierre, Danton, Alexandre Voulland, religion, politics in France, in Russia, etc.) which became publications and appeared during these same years, as well as their colleagues, the publications of works and articles by Chobaut, etc.

Hyacinthe Chobaut (1889-1950) was a historian, librarian (in Carpentras until 1923) and departmental archivist of Vaucluse.
