With this grant-in-aid for scientific research, I studied the vocabulary of the old french Decretum Gratiani, published by Leena Lofstedt, professor of the University of Helsinki (1992-1997). This text that was unknown until this publication contains numeros words of great interet for the history of the french language I certified that the old french Decretun was composed in Normandy because it contains various words characteristic of this region. At the same time, I studied technical terms and discovered diverse words that appeared for the first time in the history of french. In this study, I emploied the traditional philological method and recent fruits of the geographical linguistics. This study will make a contribution to the french lexicography.While examining the vocabulary of Decretum Gratiani, I studied various old french texts, in particular les Miracles de Notre Dame by Gautier de Coinci and la Vie des Peres (anonymous). I compared modern editions and some medieval manuscripts (Bibliotheque nationale de France, Paris) and certified that the editions have diverse faults. In an article that I published in Revue de Linguistique romane, I showed many faults that the Felix Lecoy's edition of la Vie des Peres contains. This will be a example of the neccesity of the philological approach to the old french.
