The essay draws a biographical and historiographical profile of Jacques Rambaud, a French historian not very well known and remembered in his homeland, who died October 2, 1914 on the battlefield at the age of thirty-six. His main work, Naples sous Joseph Bonaparte (Paris 1911), for the richness of the sources, for the completeness of the survey and for the original historiographical ideas, for a century has been the reference point for all scholars of the French Decade in the kingdom of Naples. In this work the great reforms enacted between 1806 and 1808 are examined in relation to the conditions of the Kingdom and placed within the framework of a well-defined policy of the King who, in the opinion of Rambaud, was characterized by a degree of autonomy compared to the directives of the Emperor. A policy that ended abruptly with the sudden calling of Joseph to the throne of Spain.

Abstract
The essay draws a biographical and historiographical profile of Jacques Rambaud, a French historian not very well known and remembered in his homeland, who died October 2, 1914 on the battlefield at the age of thirty-six. His main work, Naples sous Joseph Bonaparte (Paris 1911), for the richness of the sources, for the completeness of the survey and for the original historiographical ideas, for a century has been the reference point for all scholars of the French Decade in the kingdom of Naples. In this work the great reforms enacted between 1806 and 1808 are examined in relation to the conditions of the Kingdom and placed within the framework of a well-defined policy of the King who, in the opinion of Rambaud, was characterized by a degree of autonomy compared to the directives of the Emperor. A policy that ended abruptly with the sudden calling of Joseph to the throne of Spain.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
