# Jules Quicherat’s edition of the condemnation and rehabilitation trials enters public scholarship

Date: 1841

## The fact

From 1841 Jules Quicherat’s Procès de condamnation et de réhabilitation de Jeanne d’Arc put the trial texts into a standard printed scholarly series. This catalog uses that later public carrier because a 1431 file cabinet is not the object here.

## Context

National historiography wanted a usable Maid. An edition can serve nationalism and can still be a knowledge instrument. The nationalist statue is a different worsening row.

[Joan of Arc](/people/joan-of-arc) is not the sole author of every later object, law, or museum label that uses the name. Shared work with courts, excavators, printers, spouses, officials, and later states does not erase a documented role, and it does not make an ancient person the signer of a twentieth-century statute.

## Evidence and sources

Gallica and Internet Archive independently hold the nineteenth-century trial editions.

Official or archival record: Gallica — Bibliothèque nationale de France (https://gallica.bnf.fr/; Bibliothèque nationale de France).

## Significance

Knowledge-access path. High confidence on the edition’s existence.

An edition is not a burning. Keep 1431 on its own path.

## What is established and what is not

Established: Quicherat’s trial edition from 1841. Not established: that print instantly created a literacy series, or that the edition is a 1431 autograph.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.
