The work of Jean Bouchet (1476-1557) is in the tradition of the great chroniclers of French history; but it also inaugurates "the modern historical method by the attention to regional sources in preference to compilations" (Régis Rech). In this, his Annales d'Aquitaine are a milestone. https://librairiehistoireetsociete.com/2017/10/13/jean-bouchet-les-annales-daquitaine-1644-a-poictiers-chez-abraham-mounin-une-source-unique-pour-lhistoire-de-laquitaine-et-plus-largement-pour-lhistoire-du-royaume-de-france
