(…) The method followed is not without its slight disconcertment for the scholar accustomed to searching for what interests him in a handwritten or printed document, but, once he has become accustomed to it, he is grateful to Miss Gonon for having facilitated his work. (…) Miss Gonon has extracted a considerable amount of information from it; having long participated in the work of the Association des Chartes du Forez, she is well-versed in the methods of scholarship; Moreover, her knowledge of the local dialect, of the life and popular traditions of the Forez region, of family history as well as of the topography of the area, enabled her to illuminate the texts in the most complete way.” (Jeanne Vielliard, Bibliothèque de l’École des Chartes, t. 111\/1953, p. 257-259).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mémoire du Droit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51963877753179,"sku":"51053","price":60.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/0163\/5419\/files\/51053-1.jpg?v=1766948710","url":"https:\/\/www.memoiredudroit.fr\/en\/products\/51053-forez-testaments-foreziens-1305-1316-introduction","provider":"La Mémoire du Droit","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
