EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the scholarly intensity and legal acumen of Pierre Pithou (1539-1596), a renowned French jurist and historian. The oval image, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, reveals Pithou in the prime of his life, wearing the fashionable ruff collar of the late 16th century. His piercing gaze and furrowed brow suggest a man deeply immersed in his work, a testament to his significant contributions to both the legal and historical fields. Born in Toulouse, Pithou rose to prominence as a jurist in Paris, where he served as Avocat General to the Parlement of Paris. Simultaneously, he pursued his passion for history, publishing numerous works that shed new light on the Middle Ages and early modern France. Among his most notable publications are "Discours des anciennes coutumes de Paris" and "Histoire de l'édit de Nantes," which offered fresh perspectives on the city's legal traditions and the religious history of France, respectively. Despite his professional successes, Pithou faced adversity, particularly during the religious conflicts that plagued France in the late 16th century. He was a vocal supporter of the Edict of Nantes, which granted religious toleration to French Protestants, and was forced into exile following its revocation in 1598. This striking portrait, likely taken around 1596, offers a glimpse into the life of a man whose intellect and commitment to truth left an indelible mark on French history. The floppy hat he wears, a common accessory for scholars of the time, adds a touch of scholarly flair to the image, further emphasizing Pithou's dedication to his work and his enduring legacy.
