Abstract: [fre] Résumé Dans le discours catholique des ligueurs de la fin du XVIe siècle en France, la lèpre et la peste spirituelles sont des marques d'infamie qui frappent les huguenots. Renégats, les réformés donnent à voir dans leurs corps les stigmates de leur ignominie. Ce texte tente de comprendre les ressorts que sous-tend cette logique d'exclusion. [eng] Abstract In Catholic discourse of the latter part of the 16th century, the presence of the Huguenot in France was regarded as a spiritual pestilence infecting French society. Huguenots were stigmatized to the point that even their bodies were seen as diseased, a manifestation of their spiritual deviation. This text serves as an attempt to undestand the genesis and proliferation of this morbid discourse as well as the absolute hatred which it provoked.
