Le Verger fertile des vertusComposé
par defuncte Madame du Verger augmenté et
amplifié par Philippe du Verger sa fille,
femme d'un Procureur de la Cour
Abstract: This educational treatise enriched by the Du Vergers’ experiences as governesses (both mother and daughter) reflects the evolution of mentalities in the late sixteenth century, while offering a feminine perspective in a genre dominated by the clerical tradition. The paratext sheds light on the intellectual and socio-cultural context.
