Excerpt from Collection des Cartulaires de France, Vol. 1: Cartulaires de l'Abbaye de Saint-Père de Chartres, Tome I
Peu de monuments reçoivent une plus forte empreinte de leurs siècles que les chartes; et l'on pourrait dire d'un Cartu laire que chaque page y porte sa date avec soi. Qu'on ouvre celui d'aganon, on reconnaîtra tout de suite le temps où l'on se trouve. Il ne s'agit plus en eñet de décurions ni de régime municipal le règne des moeurs et des institutions romaines est passé depuis longtemps. Il ne s'agit même plus de leudes ou d'antrustions, de rachimbourgs ni d'arimans nous sommes entièrement sortis de l'äge des Mérovingiens. A peine est il question de scabins, de colons, de lites, dont la mention plus fréquente nous rapprocherait du siècle de Charlemagne. Mais nous sommes au milieu des colliberts, des hôtes, des vassaux dans les mairies et dans les fiefs; les noms propres sont en grande partie germaniques les surnoms se multiplient les noms de famille percent ces caractères décèlent le déclin de la seconde race et les commencements de la troisième.
