[ANSTHRLD] Accented vowels in the 1292 Paris Census

[Kathleen O'Brien]

The source for this work (and other articles on the 1292 census of 
Paris) is the printed 1837 version by Hercule Geraud.  According to 
folks who've done research into it, it seems that Geraud added accents 
when he transcribed the census.

So, you can view the 1837 book on googlebooks, but it will have the 
accents since it's Geraud's transcription.

Here's the googlebooks link:

As far as I know, an original manuscript of this census has not been 
digitized, so it is not available online.

Hope this helps,

Mari
