Chroniques de Port-Royal

Chroniques de Port-Royal is a French scholarly journal devoted to history and literature, founded in 1950 at the same time as the Société des Amis de Port-Royal, of which it is the publishing organ. The journal is the principal publication of the Society, a learned association dedicated to the study of Port-Royal des Champs, the Jansenist movement, and the broader intellectual and religious history of the early modern period in France. The journal's core content consists of the proceedings of the colloquia organized by the Société des Amis de Port-Royal. These conferences address the history of Port-Royal and Jansenism and, more broadly, the history of the modern period. Conference proceedings generally account for about three-quarters of each issue, with the remainder devoted to varia — shorter articles and miscellaneous contributions. Originally a simple pamphlet of a few pages, the publication had no real title in its early years; only the mention "Société des Amis de Port-Royal" appeared on the cover. From the earliest years the publication rhythm tended toward annual, although issues were sometimes grouped together. It was only from issue 29 (1980) that annual publication became regular. The journal has published contributions from recognized specialists in the history and literature of the early modern period, such as Jean Mesnard and Philippe Sellier, as well as texts by major literary and intellectual figures including François Mauriac, Daniel-Rops, Louis de Broglie, and Cardinal Lustiger. More unexpected signatures, such as that of Clément Hervieu-Léger in 2004, have also appeared. Chroniques de Port-Royal is indexed in the ATLA Religion database. It has been listed on the ERIH list of the European Science Foundation in history and literature (category NAT) and in the list of SHS journals of the Agence d'évaluation de la recherche et de l'enseignement supérieur (AERES) in the History category. The journal is printed in a run of 500 copies and sent to members of the Société des Amis de Port-Royal; it is distributed in Paris through specialized bookshops. Digitization of the journal began in October 2015, when digitized versions of issues 1 to 30 were placed online on the Society's website, followed in March 2016 by issues 36 to 39 and, in March 2017, by issues 40 to 47. In addition, abstracts of the papers can be consulted for each issue from issue 59 onward; these abstracts are provided in both French and English. The journal is also available through OpenEdition Journals.

Chroniques de Port-Royal was founded in 1950, at the same time as the Société des Amis de Port-Royal, whose emanation it is. The Society is a learned association dedicated to the study of Port-Royal des Champs, the Jansenist movement, and the history of the early modern period; its seat is the Bibliothèque Mazarine in Paris. In its early years the journal was a simple pamphlet of a few pages and had no real title: only the mention "Société des Amis de Port-Royal" appeared on the cover. From the earliest years the publication rhythm tended toward annual, although issues were grouped together on several occasions. It was only from issue 29 (1980) that annual publication became regular. The journal's purpose is to publish the proceedings of the colloquia organized by the Société des Amis de Port-Royal. These events address the history of Port-Royal and Jansenism and, more broadly, the history of the modern period. The proceedings generally represent about three-quarters of the content, with the remainder devoted to varia. For a long time the publisher mentioned on the title page was the Bibliothèque Mazarine. This mention was, however, incorrect: the Bibliothèque Mazarine is the official seat of the Société des Amis de Port-Royal, but it is the Society itself that is the publishing collective. The error was corrected from issue 62. Over the decades the journal has published contributions from recognized specialists in the history and literature of the early modern period, such as Jean Mesnard and Philippe Sellier, as well as texts by major figures including François Mauriac, Daniel-Rops, Louis de Broglie, and Cardinal Lustiger. More unexpected signatures, such as that of Clément Hervieu-Léger in 2004, have also appeared. The journal is indexed in the ATLA Religion database.
