Notes de l'éditeur
A journeyman is a trader or crafter who has completed an apprenticeship . A journeyman was a craftsman who had fully learned his trade and earned money but was not yet a master . To become a master, a journeyman had to submit a master work piece to a guild for judgment. If the work were deemed worthy, the journeyman would be admitted to the guild as a master. The word "journeyman" comes from the French word journee , meaning the period of one day; this refers to their right to charge a fee for each day's work. They would normally be employed by a master craftsman , but would live apart and might have a family of their own. A journeyman could not employ others
