Philippe Godding was a member of the Tijdschrift ’s Editorial Committee from 1970 until 1995; he then became a member of the journal’s Board of Editors. He was born in Ekeren (north of Antwerp) on 10 January 1926. He died at Bierges (near Louvain-la-Neuve) on 11 July 2013. Upon his retirement as a university professor, in 1991, he made an appeal in support of the library of the history department at Louvain-la-Neuve. As a token of gratitude to the donors and benefactors, he published a short autobiography, in which he endeavoured to explain how he had become a legal historian, and how his specific scholarly interests in legal history had been shaped by various circumstances and persons 1 . Although in that text, he left all leeway and freedom to anyone who in the future would write his obituary, to assess his work and career, the present obituary will to some extent draw on Godding’s own reflections on his life. Those reflections, which were continued in a workshop at Louvain-la-Neuve and published in 2012 2 , were highly personal and are therefore in their own way irreplaceable as a source of information about the scholar and the person
