This book sees the first publication in English for four of these nine essays.

Public prosecution of crime in 12th‑c. England;
Criminal law in England & Flanders under Henry II & Philip of Alsace;
Borough charter of St‑Omer of 1127;
Methods of proof in western medieval law;
Law in the medieval world;
Place of the Low Countries in European legal history;
English common law seen from the European continent;
The Rechtsstaat in historical perspective;
Max Weber — historian & sociologist.
