In my paper I try to analyze Thomas Piketty’s Capital in the Twenty‑First Century as a history book. Thus, the following questions have been posed: at the intersection of which streams, tends, and traditions of the contemporary historiography could one place Piketty’s oeuvre? What can be said of those elements of the book that can be labeled as historical epistemology: source work, conceptualization of the object of study, etc.? As an attempt to revive serial history, does it inherit the baggage of “misdeeds” against which the entire movement of cultural history rose up? What role does the concept of longue durée play in the book? The historical aspects of Piketty’s thought have the potential to spark controversy among professional historians, but it is one of its many virtues.

Oskar Halecki’s reception in French historiography is one of the interesting examples of diffi-culties in understanding Polish historical thought in France. As one of the leading authors of the concept of East‑Central Europe in world historiography, a descendant of the Viennese aristoc-racy and an ambassador of Polish humanities in the League of Nations Committee on Intellec-tual Cooperation, he promoted the history of the countries of the region, considering their independent of Russia cultural specificity, deeply connected with the values of the Christian Europe. Meanwhile, after the Second World War, the socio‑economically oriented historiogra-phy of “Annales” was gaining more and more popularity in Paris – and in Warsaw itself ...

In a transparent way, the study presents and assesses existing French historiography dealing with the issue of historical research of the emerging bureaucratic apparatus in France since its beginnings in the 16th century up to its boom that took place at the end of the 17th century and during the 18th century. The text focuses mainly on central administrations and financial and commercial authorities that were originally the product and subsequently the tool of the king’s rule in individual administrative areas and that ensured the employment and development of the nobility of the robe and of clerks that were not of noble origin who came from the class of educated townspeople. The issue of French clerical staff in the broadest sense is fairly complicated, because next to new bureaucratic authorities there were also traditional authorities where individual posts were either bought or inherited. The study sheds some light on this issue and through an analysis of case studies shows the rise of clerk families, educational possibilities and the living standard of the middle bureaucracy serving in the central authorities of the king’s rule.

The Politicisation of countryside was an integral part of the fundamental transformation of society, which we usually refer to as modernization. The works on modern French history have contributed significantly to the knowledge of the regularity of the politicisation of the rural areas. The presented historiographic balance sheet represents the most significant of them and their authors, such as André Siegfried, Maurice Agulhon or Eugen Weber. It deals with the selection of topics, methods and theses and puts them in the context of the paradigmatic transformations of historiography in the 20th century as well as research on modern French history.

The article is a personal reflection by a student of Le Goff on the research legacy of the great medievalist, who from the time of his studies at Charles University also showed a deep interest in the history of the Bohemian lands. The article stresses the importance of the foundation of the École des hautes études en sciences sociales and the creation of a doctoral seminary as a milestone on Le Goff‘s pathway towards historical anthropology and the education of his own doctoral students. Jacques Le Goff remains an inspiration, in particular for his interdisciplinary approaches, his interest in literary and iconographic sources and medieval imagination as well as for his sophisticated popularising efforts and for the tearing down of useless walls between university specialisations. The reflections are in part based on original assessments of the different aspects of Le Goff’s legacy by Bruno Dumézil, Stéphane Durand, Oliver Chaline, Christine Ferlampin-Acher, Olivier Marin, Jean-Marie Moeglin and Jean-Claude Schmitt.
