    "This contribution to the history of Vaudois law from the 9th to the 13th centuries is invaluable. It is not a history of this law, but rather, as the title indicates, an approach, a preparation, an initial clearing of the ground, a Vorarbeit. This consists of a systematic index of a large number of legal terms that the author has identified in the charters of his region. These terms are grouped under the following headings: general terms, procedure, real rights, obligations, securities, elements of the law of persons and family law, and elements of the law of succession. For each term, he provides a chronological series of extracts with translations and commentaries. A general index allows for easy retrieval. The usefulness of this work is evident: everywhere there is a demand for detailed research on the evolution of legal vocabulary. This is certainly an important aspect of the historical development of law, the most striking example undoubtedly being the eclipse and reappearance of Roman law terms in the West." » (Raoul Van Caenegem, Cahiers de civilisation médiévale, no. January-March/1966, p. 62).
