Keck Foundation Di-rector of Research at thè Huntington, for sponsoring thè conference and bring-ing thè participants to California. We thank Susi Krasnoo and thè staff at thè Huntington for their superò work in handling thè publicity and locai arrange-ments. Thank you, one and ali. President David Oxtoby and Dean Gary Kates of Pomona College also generously contributed to thè support of thè conference along with thè Society for Court Studies in North America. This conference initiated an international collaboration between thè Society for Court Studies, thè Centro studi "Europa delle Corti", thè Instituto Univerario "La Corte en Europa" de la Universidad Autonoma de Madrid, and thè "Centre de Recherche du Chàteau de Versailles", which has since resulted in thè formation of an ombrella organization, me Court Studies Forum. This book is thè first in what we anticipate will become a series of studies of European courts produced under thè auspices of this organization. We particularly thank Marcello Fantoni for his energy in promoting this initiative and Bulzoni Editore and their swift staff, including Dr. Maurizio Catarinozzi, for publishing this collection, their first volume in English. We thank Melarne Sisneros of Pomona College for expert assist-ance with computer files. And to MaryBeth Smuts and Naomi Sawelson-Gorse, we thank you for your devoted support and advice. We hope that thè questions raised by this interdisciplinary volume will be as rich as those answered.
