Commentary
Si l’on en croit - et il n’y a pas raison de ne pas les croire - les documents d’archives sur les familles parisiennes mis en ligne à http://www.famillesparisiennes.org/public/orsel/sorin-actes.html car les dates se situent vers le début du XVIIIe siècle, comme notre jeton, on constate que ce jeton n’est pas d’une personne mais d’une famille. On y trouve François-Thomas Sorin, député et consul du commerce de Paris, qui habite rue St Martin, paroisse St Merry, Pierre Sorin marchand épicier à Paris, François Barraud, marchand joaillier de Paris et Claude-Françoise Sorin, son épouse, habitant quai de l'Horloge... et bien d’autres,et, selon la formule consacrée, rien que du beau monde.
If we believe - and there is no reason not to believe them - the archival documents on Parisian families put online at http://www.famillesparisiennes.org/public/orsel/sorin-actes.html because the dates are around the beginning of the 18th century, like our token, we see that this token does not belong to a person but to a family. We find François-Thomas Sorin, deputy and consul of commerce of Paris, who lives on rue St Martin, parish of St Merry, Pierre Sorin grocer in Paris, François Barraud, jeweler of Paris and Claude-Françoise Sorin, his wife, living on quai de l'Horloge... and many others, and, according to the consecrated formula, nothing but the beautiful people

Historical background
CORPORATIONS
In Rome, groups of artisans already existed: forming a college placed under the protection of a divinity, with a common house and fund. In medieval Europe, probably from religious brotherhoods, economic groups were formed between merchants called hanse or ghilde.. With the development of trade, craftsmen organized themselves into trade bodies or communities which brought together all those who practiced the same profession: masters, journeymen or apprentices.. To enter the body, you had to "swear" the profession. Alongside, there were free professions that could be practiced by all.. Each corps was headed by a collegial management responsible for enforcing the regulations of the trade, protecting the trade from competition and directing the mutual benefit society.. At the end of the 17th century, the king began to sell the functions of jurors and corporate trustees as hereditary offices, which led to serious financial difficulties at a time when the corporations no longer met the new economic requirements of the development of industry and business concentration. It is also in England that the corporations disappeared spontaneously because of the industrial revolution.. The corporations will be abolished in France in 1791 by the Constituent Assembly.
