Descrizione
The mortuologe (obituary) is a major prosopological source for establishing a who-is-who of this early modern French province of Franciscan Recollects. It provides data about 690 religious, most of whom died during the XVIIth century, including also, in the second and third sections, 51 female Franciscan religious and 38 lay persons. The mortuologe reveals not only many specific traits of the Recollect identity and apostolate, but might be also explored as a source for the friars’ involvement in the politics of their day; it is equally valuable for the historians of early modern medicine. The text is preserved in the former archives of the Québec Seminary, nowadays Musée de l’Amérique francophone, but it is not sure when exactly this obituary was brought to the Franciscan mission of the French colony.
