This article describes the construction and content of an atlas of local jurisdictions of Ancien Régime France: . Bailliages were at the center of the Ancien Régime's jurisdictional apparatus: they administered the ordinary royal justice, delineated the area of influence of heterogeneous customary laws, and served as electoral constituencies for the Estates General of 1614 and 1789. Yet, their territorial extent was relatively unknown to the royal authority, leading early scholars to assert the impossibility of mapping the geography of bailliages. Based on Armand Brette's published in 1904, we develop a historical geographic information system containing shapefiles and associated data files of bailliage courts at the time of the convocation of the Estates General of 1789. This new source has many potential applications, including mapping the different legal systems that coexisted in France, such as Roman law in and customary law in , and studying elections to the Estates General of 1789.

法国旧制度地方管辖图集


本文描述了法国旧制度地方司法管辖区地图集的构建和内容：。地方法院是旧制度司法机构的中心：它们管理普通的皇家司法，划定不同习惯法的影响范围，并作为 1614 年和 1789 年三级会议的选区。然而，它们的领土范围相对较小。王室当局不知道这一点，导致早期学者断言不可能绘制出贝里阿格斯的地理地图。基于 Armand Brette 于 1904 年发布的内容，我们开发了一个历史地理信息系统，其中包含 1789 年三级会议召开时的 bailliage 法院的 shape 文件和相关数据文件。这个新资源有许多潜在的应用，包括绘制不同法律的地图。法国共存的制度，例如罗马法和习惯法，并研究了 1789 年三级会议的选举。
