Anniversary of Révolte des Canuts


November 21st is the 170th anniversary of the Révolte des Canuts in Lyon, France.  The silk weavers of Lyon (called canuts) rose up against the tarif, or fixed minimum rate for finished cloth. Following salary decreases, the tarif was negotiated between manufacturers of silk, foremen, and silk weavers in October of 1831.  However, most of the manufacturers refused to apply it.  

On November 21, 1831, over a thousand silk workers and their supporters revolted against the manufacturers in all districts of Lyon.  The insurgents held Lyon for three days and captured the arsenal of the National Guard.  The battle turned violent, with over 200 civilians and 75 soldiers killed.  The workers’ victory was short-lived as Louis Philippe sent his son, the Duke of Orleans, and the Minister of War, Marshal Soult, along with an army of 30,000 with orders to dissolve the collective of workers, cancel the tarif, and disarm the population.  While the workers did not immediately achieve their desired outcome, this was an important event which created worker solidarity and led to stronger organization and support in fighting for future labor laws.

SPERONI DEGLI ALVAROTI (S). Dialogi di M. Speron Speroni. Nuovamente ristampati et con molta diligenza riveduti et corretti.  Venise, Domenico Giglio, 1558. in-8. 154ff.   Cartonnage moderne.  (ref.67242)

The Italian humanist and scholar Sperone Speroni degli Alvarotti (1500-1588) was a member of Padua’s Accademia degli Infammiati. He was known for his works on literature and drama. The work recently acquired by Stanford, the Dialogi, was his first publication, and was first published by the Aldine Press in Venice in 1542. Here we have a later Venetian edition, testifying to the popularity of his thoughts on subjects such as love and jealousy, the dignity of women, languages and rhetoric. This work fits in with the research of French professor Cecile Alduy, since Speroni’s dialogues were an important influence to French Renaissance poets such as Du Bellay, Ronsard, and Scève.
