The volume is devoted to a study of the word condamine, which stems from the French vocabulary pertaining to agricultural territory of the landed gentry. The study is the first of its kind to examine the word, and analyzes it as a common noun and a proper noun (in names of places and persons) from its origins (6th century) to the present day across the entire geographical area in which it figures (from the Rhine to Catalonia). As such the volume attempts to establish and satisfy the methodological requirements posed by lexical and onomasiological monographs on historical vocabulary.
