Les Grands Épisodes de la Révolution dans Avignon et le Comtat is an historical work by Pierre Charpenne, published posthumously in 1901 in Avignon.
The work includes 4 volumes and traces the main events of the Revolution in the territories of Avignon and the Comtat Venaissin between 1789 and 1797. After Charpenne’s death, the manuscript was prepared for publication by Dr. Laval and Clément Saint-Just, who added a preface and explanatory notes.
Among the episodes studied are:
the siege of Cavaillon (1791);
the clashes around Carpentras;
the massacres at La Glacière (October 1791);
the Terror in Avignon;
the Revolutionary Tribunal of Orange;
the royalist insurrections from 1795 to 1797.
This work is considered an important source for local history, even though current historians point out that it also reflects the interpretations of its time.
