| Summary | "Le gibet de Montfaucon (étude sur le vieux Paris)" by Firmin Maillard is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The work delves into the dark history of executions in Paris, specifically the infamous gallows of Montfaucon, detailing the nature and rituals surrounding capital punishment during earlier centuries in the city. This exploration not only recounts the various locations of public executions but also provides significant commentary on social justice and morality at that time. The opening of this account outlines the various locations around Paris where executions were carried out, emphasizing the notorious Montfaucon as a focal point for capital punishment. It catalogues significant historical references, including details about the types of punishment inflicted, the imagery and structure of the gallows, and the public's attitude towards these gruesome acts. Maillard provides insight into the administrative and legal aspects of justice in Paris, illustrating how the populace responded to the spectacle of execution and their implications on societal norms and governance.
