Gérer l’argent du roi… Voilà la mission prestigieuse et délicate que se charge d’accomplir le Bureau des finances de Lyon dans sa généralité, l’une des plus importantes du royaume, sinon par sa taille du moins par la densité de sa population. Impositions, domaine royal et voirie forment les activités de ce collège de magistrats à la fois moqué, redouté, envié, plusieurs fois supprimé mais toujours rétabli. Les notions de maîtrise des finances publiques, de contrôle budgétaire et comptable s’affinent lentement. Ces opérations, expressions parmi les plus sensibles du pouvoir parce qu’en prise directe non seulement avec les populations mais encore avec l’Histoire, donnent corps à un droit administratif qui tend à se différencier de plus en plus du droit privé. Elles reflètent l’affirmation d’un pouvoir royal en pleine expansion. Elles éclairent aussi le développement d’une province qui cherche à asseoir sa spécificité et à faire reconnaître son identité. Au travers d’archives exceptionnellement bien conservées, Karine Deharbe retrace le destin de cette institution de 1577 à 1790. Elle offre ici un nouvel éclairage de l’histoire financière, politique et administrative d’une région qui faillit devenir capitale de la France. Manage the King’s coffers – such was the prestigious and arduous mission assigned the Lyons Bureau des Finances regional financial administration in the Lyons administrative district, one of the foremost in the kingdom, if not in size, at least in population density. Taxation, royal property and highways comprised the activities of this college of magistrates who were ridiculed, feared, envied and oft-closed, but always reopened. The notions of public finance control and budget and accounting audits slowly developed. These operations were among the most sensitive expressions of the ruling power, since they touched directly on the people and history. They shaped an administrative law increasingly removed from private law. They reflected the assertion of a fast-growing royal power. They also paved the way for the development of a province that sought to establish its particularity and assert its identity. Karine Deharbe delves into exceptionally well-preserved archives to retrace the steps of this institution from 1577 to 1790. She casts new light on the financial, political and administrative history of a region that almost became the capital of France.
