Abstract
THE COMTAT is an area of France which stretches from Avignon to the Mont Ventoux eastward, down to Cavaillon in the south, and north to Vaison‐la‐Romaine. It has not existed as a separate entity since the French Revolution, when it ceased being Papal territory, but the locals have a strong sense of history, and the Comtat has kept its identity. In this small area—about twenty‐five miles across and about forty from north to south—there are three libraries of importance.
