Friedrich Christian Diez have since become bywords among philologists. A great advance was made by Raynouard, who by his critical editions of the works of the "Troubadours", published in the first years of the 19th century, laid the foundations on which Diez afterwards built. The difference between Diez's method and that of his predecessors is well stated by him in the preface to his dictionary. In sum, it is the difference between science and guess-work.
