from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pierre Jeannin (born December 8, 1924 in Mollans , Haute-Saône , Franche-Comté ; † March 10, 2004 in Paris ) was a French historian of the Annales School .

From 1946 on, Jeannin attended the École normal supérieure (ENS) in the Rue d´Ulm with the medievalist Jacques Le Goff of the same age . From 1950 he worked as a teacher in Amiens and Paris. From 1952 to 1964 he also taught at the Institut d'études politiques de Paris , was assistant at the Sorbonne from 1953 to 1957 , repetitor at the ENS (1957–1961) and “Maître-Assistant” at the Sorbonne (1961–1964). He then became professor for “Economies and Societies of Modern Europe” at the VI. Section of the École pratique des hautes études (EPHE), from which the École des hautes études en sciences sociales (EHESS) emerged in 1975 .

Pierre Jeannin's areas of expertise were the history of merchants and Northern Europe in the early modern period. In 1957 his essay "Les Marchands au XVIième siècle", translated into several languages, was published. His article on the Sundzoll, printed in two parts in the Revue Historique in 1964, was groundbreaking . For the “Nouvelle Clio” series, he wrote a volume on north-western and northern Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries (1969). From 1977 he initiated and directed a large-scale international study on business manuals in Europe. Three volumes edited and edited together with the German historians Jochen Hoock and Wolfgang Kaiser appeared under the title "Ars Mercatoria" while he was still alive.
