A Process of Construction between Emergency and Planning The Transfer to the City of the Convent of Poor Clares of Aix-en-Provence in the Second Half of the 14th Century

The retreat of many convents to cities in the fourteenth century should not be considered a simple relocation. The Poor Clares, who lived a few kilometers from Aix-en-Provence, were confronted with this problem. The preservation of several of the notarial registers in which the nuns recorded most of their actions between 1361 and 1380 allows us largely to follow the way in which these nuns lived and managed this transition.
