• Extra informatie: - The author gives a comprehensive and systematic analysis of customary law (coutume) as both a legal norm and historical source in medieval Europe. Drawing from a wide range of documentary and regional examples, Gilissen explores the definition, elements, and social foundations of custom, traces its evolution from the post-Roman period through the feudal and late medieval eras, and outlines the methods for critically analyzing custom-based documents, such as written legal customs, private law books, and official compilations. He later reviews the editorial history of customary texts and demonstrate how the study of custom contributes to understanding medieval institutions, family structures, property law, and legal procedure. The work was well received for its clarity and scholarly depth. Published during a resurgence of interest in legal pluralism, it remains an important reference in medieval legal historiography.
