Paper doi abstract bibtex Since the end of Middle Ages, the famous Querelle des femmes crossed the modern centuries, from the 16th to the 18th, with numerous booklets, dictionaries and many philosophical, theological, medical, and even poetic treatises and books, and is much longer than we could believe. Two documents are examined through this paper. One of them is the Disputatio noua (1595) generally attributed to Valens Acidalius, that denied woman’s belonging to mankind, with Simon Gediccus’answer; the other is the legend of the Macon council (585), that is based upon the “hitjacking” of few lines from Gregory of Tours’ History of the Franks. Since one century at least, some historians aim to break off this legend, on which the question of woman’s soul has been wrongly grafted, especially in France and Germany, during 19th, 20th and even 21th centuries. None the less, though the evidence of the file be uncertain or falsified, the legend seems to be invulnerable. Its long life and inoperative restatements are actually prominent. Such strong is a legend commuted into a myth. This resilience of bad History could be explained with both all-important stakes: sexism imputed to the Catholic church and the very place of women in European societies. This paper intends to examine the chronology of this bouncing question, and thus is also an historiographical work. The authors want to present a new restatement of an almost forsaken debate, that some continuous and recent errors made necessary.
