Acknowledgments
This book was seen to completion only because of the very kind advice and assistance of several individuals, and for their support I am most grateful. To no scholar do I owe a greater debt than to Professor J. Russell Major, who has always served as an intellectual inspiration. His understanding of the early modern period has obviously shaped my own; his example has offered me a model of academic excellence to which I can only aspire; and his continued support bolsters me emotionally as well as intellectually. I can never adequately express my appreciation.
Several other scholars made contributions to this project in a variety of ways. Mack Holt, Al Hamscher, Don Bailey, and Ellery Schalk offered much in the way of encouragement and suggestions over the years. Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie directed me to sources and to changes in approach that opened new areas of inquiry. And I am particularly indebted to Lloyd Moote and Orest Ranum who both, based on a very close and thoughtful reading of the manuscript, provided advice and criticism that sharpened its focus.
I would also like to thank the staffs of the Archives Dpartementales des Bouches-du-Rhne, the Archives Communales d'Aix-en-Provence, and the Bibliothque Mjanes, and in particular Charles Foucquart and Elisabeth Martinez, whose kind attention made my days in the Annexe d'Aix of the Archives Dpartmentales much more productive and enjoyable than they might otherwise have been. My time in Aix and my introduction to the French way of life were all the more pleasant and memorable as the result of the friendship and advice of Monica Maza. And for the opportunity to spend time in Aix, I would also like to express my appreciation to Emory University, which awarded me a graduate fellowship, thereby making my research and much more possible. I am thankful to Auburn University for research leave and a grant that proved invaluable in the preparation of this manuscript. And I owe a tremendous debt to my editor, Gerry Anders, who painstakingly edited, corrected, and scrutinized this manuscript.
