    “In the study of Roman law, two kinds of discoveries can be made. The first, those that immediately come to mind and that outsiders would readily believe to be the only ones possible in this field, are the discoveries of unpublished documents, manuscripts, or inscriptions that provide new texts, such as the Institutes of Gaius or the statutes of the colony Genetiva. But there is a second kind. These are those, equally brilliant and meritorious, that consist of extracting from documents long accessible to all, by subjecting them to more skillful analysis, information that no one had yet been able to glean from them and which, once brought to light, can no longer be contested by experts. There are few examples of this second type of discovery as striking as Lenel’s work on the restoration of the Perpetual Edict.” If we go back to around the year 1880, it seemed then that we already knew everything that could be known until the appearance of new documents, concerning the plan and content of this long ordinance on the administration of civil justice (…). When the Munich Academy, charged by virtue of a rotation established by the statutes of the Savigny foundation to choose a subject for a competition, proposed the study of the formulas of actions, prohibitions, exceptions and stipulations contained in the Edictum Perpetuum and which had disappeared from Justinian's codification, the choice was criticized as relating to a question on which there was nothing more to say. And yet on this subject so often treated, with these instruments known for so long, one of the competitors, Mr. Lenel, then a privat-docent, composed, a little over twenty years ago, by extending the framework of the competition of the restitution of the formulas to that of all the provisions contained in the general edict of Julian and by taking up the problem in its entirety, a work full of new facts and unforeseen revelations, one of the most important books, probably the most important for the history of Roman law that appeared in the last third of the 19th century. » (P.-F. Girard, Nouvelle revue historique de droit français et étranger, n° 28/1904, p. 117-164).
