Abstract
It was Claude Fleury’s belief that, to understand the nature of seventeenth-century education fully, it was of paramount importance to go to its source and become familiar with its evolution over the course of centuries.1 And it was in this use of historical method as an important component in the analysis and elaboration of educational practice and theory that Fleury made, perhaps, his most original contribution to educational scholarship.
