Author(s): Jean Louis Émile Joseph Yver (1901-1988)

Title: Contrats dans le très ancien droit Normand (xie-xiiie siècles)

Introduction:

This work was Jean Yver's doctoral thesis, supervised by Robert Génestal (1872-1931). It signals the beginning of a distinguished career, treating the important aspects of its subject with chapters including those on plévine, gage, and arrests with acute historical analysis and authority. After a brief period when he taught at the University of Lille, Yver moved to Caen University on the migration of Génestal to the University of Paris, in 1927, succeeding Génestal as professor at Caen in 1931. Yver was made an Officier de la Légion d'Honneur in 1959, a Commandeur des Palmes académiques in 1963, and a corresponding Fellow of the British Academy in 1974. He taught many Guernsey students at Caen, in which city he was born and died.
