Little by little, and above all in the modern era, the term became synonymous with an argumentative piece of writing, serving and asserting an idea. Vauban also wrote mémoires to Louis XIV on fortifications, such as ''Mémoire pour servir d'instruction dans la conduite des sièges et dans la défense des places, par M. le maréchal de Vauban, présenté au Roi en 1704'', and the religious quarrels of the time also produced several mémoires. Evolution in the 19th century In the course of the 19th century, ''mémoire'' took on a sense that approaches the sense it holds today. It lost its polemical character and became a scientific text (or o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
