L'équipe de recherche CELLF 16-18 est depuis le 1er janvier 2014 une composante du CELLF (Centre d’étude de la langue et des littératures françaises), unité mixte de recherche (UMR) relevant du CNRS et de l’université Paris-Sorbonne. Il regroupe depuis la même date les activités de l’ancien Centre d’étude de la langue et de la littérature françaises des XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles (CELLF 17e-18e siècles), fondé en 1967, et du Centre Saulnier (la création littéraire en France au 16e siècle).

This site presents over 100 carefully selected French manuscripts written between 1300 and 1700, with tools for deciphering them and learning about their social, cultural, and institutional settings.

La base de données « Naissance de la critique dramatique » offre près de 1500 extraits de textes du XVIIe siècle évoquant les œuvres théâtrales sous l’angle de la perception que peut en avoir un spectateur, un lecteur, ou tout particulier qui prétend s’en faire l’écho.
Before email, faculty meetings, international colloquia, and professional associations, the world of scholarship relied on its own networks: networks of correspondence that stretched across countries and continents; the social networks created by scientific academies; and the physical networks brought about by travel. These networks were the lifelines of learning, from the age of Erasmus to the age of Franklin. They facilitated the dissemination&emdash;and the criticism&emdash;of ideas, the spread of political news, as well as the circulation of people and objects.
But what did these networks actually look like? Were they as extensive as we are led to believe? How did they evolve over time? Mapping the Republic of Letters, in collaboration with international partners, seeks to answer these and other questions through the development of sophisticated, interactive visualization tools. It also aims to create a repository for metadata on early-modern scholarship, and guidelines for future data capture.
