This study investigates the financial distress of Parisian monasteries before the Revolution. By analyzing cases such as the Theatines and Dominicans, the research determines whether the crisis stemmed from inefficient management or a lack of diversification. The examination of urban and rural revenues reveals sophisticated risk management practices, challenging the stereotype of purely landed monastic wealth and highlighting the impact of urban real estate investments.
