Acknowledgements

The essays of Professors Stalnaker and Sabean appear in their original language, and Professor Oberman has supplied us with an English version of a paper which was later rewritten and published in German. All other contributions have been translated first by the editors and then submitted to authors for approval before being published here. The essay of the late Dr Bcking has been checked by Dr Hans-Christoph Rublack. In some cases footnotes and/or text have been shortened. Readers who wish to follow up more detailed references or bibliographies are therefore referred to the original versions. Umlaut has usually not been included in the translation. Certain terms such as Landschaft, the meaning of which is by no means unambiguous in the original, have been translated as seems appropriate to the particular essay. Godly law has been preferred to divine law and old law to ancient law.

We should like to thank authors for permission to re-publish, and also to acknowledge the co-operation of their original publishers. The map and two figures have been produced by the Cartographic Unit, Department of Geography at Portsmouth Polytechnic, whom we thank for excellent draughtsmanship. The initial sub-editing was handled by Karin Benecke, and typing by the secretarial staff under Miss Revitt at Darwin College, University of Kent, and given the expert care of Mrs Sue Macdonald and her colleagues. For much-needed help with the problems of editing we are grateful to Keith Ashfield.
