    Compilations of customary law appeared in France as early as the 15th century, and Boutillier's "Somme Rural" can be considered the first of these. A second wave emerged in the 17th century, driven in particular by Eusèbe de Laurière (Bibliothèque des coutumes). However, the text by Bourdot de Richebourg (1665-1735) constituted the definitive synthesis on this subject: published in 1724, it had no successor until the end of the Ancien Régime. It should be noted that it combined the text of the customs with the most important commentaries (Dumoulin, Brodeau, Rageau, and Laurière, among others), thus providing a unique and readily accessible source of information on the topic. Modern authors emphasize its enduring importance: "any study of customary law sources for the modern period requires recourse to Bourdot de Richebourg" (Sueur, Vol. II, p. 152).
