"La Provence: Usages, coutumes, idiomes depuis les origines; le Félibrige et son action sur la langue provençale" by Henri Oddo is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the rich cultural heritage of Provence, detailing its customs, traditions, and idioms from ancient times through the influence of the Félibrige movement on the Provençal language.
