The Société d'étude du XVIIe is a French learned society established in Paris in 1948 along the status of an association loi de 1901 [][1] in order to bring together specialists (historians, literary historians, art historians ...) of this period and to develop studies on this century.
The society was established in 1948 by Georges Mongrédien,[2] Monseigneur Marius-Henri Guervin[3] and E. Houdart de La Motte.
[4] Each year since 1984[12] the Society bestows a prize for the most significant work of the previous year, covering the seventeenth and which may be an audiovisual work.
Four times a year since 1949, the Society publishes the journal XVIIe ISSN 0012-4273, the main scientific journal on the 17th century, in an interdisciplinary setting.
It is considered a review of rank A by the ERIH (European Reference Index for Humanities).
