Extra informatie:- Monier presents a critical edition of the Livre Roisin, a late-13th-century compilation of Lilles customary law first codified in 1267, revised in 1297 by clerk Jean Roisin, and surviving chiefly through 1349 municipal manuscripy copy. It contains an introduction, which contextualizes the origin of the custom collection, the civic-clerical conflict around Saint-Pierre, and the function of clerks and judges in preserving text and identity. Then the main text in Old Picard, the dialect of old French used in late 13th-century Lille, with a modern French version by Monier. This bilingual edition featuring the customary code, interspersed with charters, bans, court judgments, and archival acts spanning the 13th-16th centuries. Followed by a Glossary that Explaines technical and linguistic terms to support scholarly use. The book illuminates medieval Lilles legal infrastructure and civic identity through a 'composite' document - part code, part cartulary, part civic register-with each manuscript incarnation entwined with political events. Clerks are revealed as both recorders and active agents in maintaining urban law, while the custom book itself served as both practical tool and symbol of collective memory.
