✦ Synopsis

The more than 100 attendees at the colloquium represented ten nations.

Summarizing, the book provides a resume of the research at Vitry during the period 195&1959 with some worthwhile additions by other conferees. Readers will find the English translation reasonably smooth and lucid, and the bibliographies and list of symposium participants of some value.

However, it is most unfortunate that this translation has not appeared until five and a half years after the symposium, since much of the research reported has now more historical significance than current importance.
