Base retracement on solid research and historically accurate interpretation Interpreting Land Records is the industry s most complete guide to researching and understanding the historical records germane to land surveying. Coverage includes boundary retracement and the primary considerations during new boundary establishment, as well as an introduction to historical records and guidance on effective research and interpretation. This new edition includes a new chapter titled Researching Land Records, and advice on overcoming common research problems and insight into alternative resources when official records are unavailable. Topical case studies provide helpful, plain-language descriptions of methods, problems, and resolutions, and appendices provide definitions, context, and modern interpretation of historical words and phrases. The text features exhaustive coverage and notes, with hundreds of case law citations annotated with expert insight that gives readers the complete background of the methods and techniques discussed. Boundary retracement entails the recovery of historical documents related to the original boundary, correct interpretation and analysis, and the accurate application of historic survey principles with correlation to conditions on the ground. This builds a legally-sound defense to the location of the boundary, and is crucial element to any project or transaction concerning land. Interpreting Land Records is the pre-eminent reference to help readers: * Interpret historical land records, understanding their creation and documentation * Become familiar with the various methods of historic surveys * Overcome common research issues, including lost or corrupted records * Establish boundaries free of vagueness or abstraction, with clear documentation Haphazard retracement leaves a boundary open to dispute and complicates future retracement efforts. Accuracy depends in part on quality research and the accurate interpretation of available documents. Interpreting Land Records provides comprehensive, practical guidance toward retracement based on sound evidence and technique.

"L'ouvrage reprend, traduit et commente des textes d'arpentage de l'Antiquité tardive ou destinés aux géomètres, édités par Karl Lachmann (Berlin, 1848). Les auteurs cités sont l'empereur Théodose Ier et le Préfet du Prétoire Néotorius, l'arpenteur Dolabella, la prophétesse étrusque Végoia. Le livre comprend aussi les extraits "De finium regundorum" intégrés au corpus gromatique. Faisant suite à l'ouvrage publié par les PUFC en 2008, l'ouvrage envisage : le système de tracé des "limites" mis sous l'égide de l'empereur Théodose Fr et du Préfet du Prétoire Néotorius : cette Ratio limitum comprend huit parties ; un exposé illustré des "lettres des terres" qui rappelle les Casae litterarum ; des extraits des "Livres de Dolabella", particulièrement intéressants pour les liens qu'ils révèlent entre l'arpentage et la religion ; la célèbre prophétie de Végoia ; des extraits légèrement modifiés du Code Théodosien et du Digeste destinés aux géomètres. Deux appendices portant sur le Code Justinien (III, 29) et la signification du mot "praescriptio" éclairent ces documents juridiques."--P. [4] of cover.

This book provides a reliable and readable translation of the writings of the Roman land surveyors. Although these works were first collected together probably in the 5th century AD, this is the first attempt to produce a translation into English of all the most significant texts and to present them in a single volume, along with a Latin text, glossary, and a selection of line drawings from the manuscripts. A historical introduction and commentary establish the context of ancient surveying and its historical importance in terms of law, society, and economy, and also the relationship of the texts to the identification of Roman field systems and settlements.
