The article examines several issues from the 18th century French Jansenist newspaper entitled "Les Nouvelles ecclésiastiques ou mémoires pour servir à l'histoire de la constitution Unigenitus" (NE) in order to determine how Marie-Thérèse d'Autriche, Empress of Austria, was viewed by Jansenists. Topics of discussion include the newspaper's first mention of the Empress on June 19, 1751, the suppression of Jesuits, and religious tolerance, particularly toward Protestants.

The article discusses the history of a theological dispute concerning the nature of grace between faculty members of the Douai school of theology in the 16th through 18th centuries in Douai, France. The article describes the theology of Molinism which concerned God's sovereignty, providence, and dispensation of grace, along with the Douai theologians' censorship of Molinist teachings at the school in 1588. It then discusses the decline of Thomism and the rise of Jansenism, exploring how Molinist sympathies among Jansenists worked to subvert the traditional censorship of Molinism in the school.

The article presents information about the French history of the so-called negotiorum gestio, which is an element of civil law. The relations between the negotiorum gestio and the development of the Napoleonic Code during the early 19th century are discussed. Topics under discussion in the article include political contractualism, Enlightenment anthropology, and the political history of the 18th and 19th centuries. It is also noted that the content of the article was originally presented at a conference of a legal historical society in Paris, France on March 17, 2005.

Although not as prominent or united as the more powerful 'avocats,' during the years of the Jansenist disputes between the 1730's and 1770's Parisian notaries were active in the political and cultural expression of the bourgeois public sphere, but the degree and nature of their commitment to the Jansenist cause was expressed in widely different forms. Those whose family origins lay in the law were more likely to place their professional practice in the service of appellants against the bull 'Unigenitus,' notably by registering evidence of the miracles associated with Jean de Pâris, and similarly recording protests against the ecclesiastical hierarchy. Others, originating from wealthy merchant families and implicated in complex socioeconomic networks, were more discreet, limiting their engagement to membership of the spiritual community and providing personal support for persecuted priests, but their Jansenist commitment was still common knowledge.
