| Class number: | 378.009 | Abstract: | In his extensive study of the charitable foundations of Bons-Enfants, many or most of which provided training in grammar and the liberal arts, J.M. Reitzel regretted the absence of information about the background and careers of the boys who were actually housed or held burses in these institutions. He made this observation in the context of the houses of Bons-Enfants at Paris, which unlike their equivalents in other cities and towns throughout northern France and Belgium housed students preparing for the baccalaureate and master degrees in arts, having already completed their training in grammar. Information, however, on a few scholars who belonged to one of the Bons-Enfants at Paris is extant, and can, in some cases, be combined with other documentation to provide an enriched picture of their careers. | Contents note: | William J.
