This work delves into the intriguing world of various trades, exploring the legends, customs, and superstitions associated with artisans such as bakers, millers, and butchers. It aims to preserve the intimate history of these occupations, capturing the essence of a time when artisans held greater significance in society. The opening of this work introduces the reader to the fascinating character of the miller, setting the tone for the anecdotes and lore that characterize the rest of the book. Through the lens of popular legends and proverbs, Sébillot outlines the often checkered reputation of millers, detailing how their profession has historically been associated with deceit and cunning. The chapter recounts tales of their tricks, the moral perceptions held by the public, and the unique cultural superstitions surrounding their craft, all of which serve to illustrate the rich tapestry of labor and its societal implications during the period.
