  abstract  = {This thesis provides an edition and commentary of a manuscript discovered by Michael Stolberg in the archives of the central library in Zurich under the title "Mon aprendisage {\`a} l'H{\^o}tel Dieu de Paris 1704." (My apprenticeship at the H{\^o}tel-Dieu de Paris 1704). The manuscript contains records of a midwifery student at the H{\^o}tel-Dieu de Paris, an old hospital famous among others for its education in midwifery in the maternity ward. We read about managing different births, recipes for common remedies, direct questions answered by the ma{\^i}tresse sage-femme, the leading midwife at the H{\^o}tel-Dieu de Paris and more. Although other accounts exist of the maternity ward at the H{\^o}tel-Dieu de Paris, \(Mon\) \(Aprendisage\) is the first and only account from a midwife's perspective that gives more than just instructions on obstetrical techniques. It takes us into the day-to-day experience of a woman as she progressed through her training at the H{\^o}tel-Dieu.},
