A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Seine, which in early times bore the name of Lutece, was the cradle of Paris. Caesar, who is the first to speak of it, calls it Lutecia. Strabo wrote Lucotocia; Ptolemy, Lucotecia; the Emperor Julian, who resided long in the ancient city, wrote of it as Louchetia, the different denominations probably all originating in the whiteness of the plaster used in its buildings. Paris began to spread beyond the boundaries of Lutece from Roman times onwards. The rays emerging from this centre have absorbed all the villages in the neighbourhood, and for many miles in every direction all is now one vast and crowded city. But the island, where the first palaces were grouped around the fishermens huts, has ever been as it were the axis of the kingdom, the point whence the laws were disseminated, and where the metropolitan cathedral has existed for fifteen centuries. In early times two islets broke the force of the river beyond the point of the lie de la Cite. These were the He de la Gourdaine, ordu Passeur aux Vaches, and the He aux Javiaux, or He aux Treilles. Upon the latter, which was then opposite the end of the royal gardens (M arch u, 1314), Jacques de Molay, grand master of the Templars, and Guy, dauphin d Auvergne, VOL. II.
