Index Nominum 270 PREFACE THIS EDITION of the charters of Homblieres, like many posthumous publica- tions, incorporates several stages of work, which were carried out at different times. The first stage, in 1936-1937, was the collection and preliminary edit- ing of the texts; the second stage, in 1948-1950, was the annotation of the charters and the preparation of the introduction and index; the third stage was the checking of the texts, done in the 1950s byJean-Baptiste Giard and perhaps by Newman himself, who may also have revised his introduction at that time; and the final stage, from 1979 to 1986, was the revision of the en- tire work by Theodore Evergates, in collaboration with me.
