Abstract

No research is without intellectual content. It always carries traces of provenance with it around. Sometimes it appears that knowledge comes too late. The train is gone or the gloves are delivered while summer is already beginning. Then all sacrifices were in vain and those who renounced their lives find no comfort. When a language is not spoken anymore and its witnesses are gathering dust in the closets, it is unsuitable to let life fade away over a dictionary. Yet futility deserves a commemorative plaque. Such will be attempted by this text for the V(ocabularium) I(urisprudentiae) R(omanae). This is why it could also be titled: Short history of VIR.
