The Coutumes of Beauvaisis is a book on medieval French law written by Philippe de Beaumanoir in the late 13th century. Composed in Old French prose, it addresses both procedural and substantive legal matters, covering a broad range of topics. Its extensive content has made it a significant resource for scholars. The work has a substantial bibliography, though most references are articles rather than specialized books. The most recent edition was prepared by Amédée Salmon and published between 1899 and 1900, preserving the original Old French syntax. Although not translated into modern French, the text has been translated into English and Japanese. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
