L’édition des chartes et des cartulaires dans le Nord de la France

Abstract

Nearly four centuries after the first editions of Northern French charters, we can stress the success of the publication of charters, but also have some reservations about it. The quality of the editions of diplomatic texts, as of all medieval texts, did strongly increase, but it is now necessary to find new forms of publication if one want to study as soon as possible all preserved texts.
