"La Provence: Usages, coutumes, idiomes depuis les origines; le Félibrige et son action sur la langue provençale" by Henri Oddo is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the rich cultural heritage of Provence, detailing its customs, traditions, and idioms from ancient times through the influence of the Félibrige movement on the Provençal language. The opening of the book sets the stage for an in-depth examination of the various celebrations and festivities that characterize Provençal culture. Oddo begins by discussing the historical significance of Provence, highlighting its vibrant past in arts and letters, and the cultural transformations it underwent due to foreign invasions and internal strife.
