   • 1892, Rudolf Sohm, The Institutes of Roman Law, page 34:

     'Fiducia' is an agreement of trust, whereby the transferee in a mancipatio undertakes to divest himself of the ownership which has been conveyed to him, and more especially — in certain circumstances — to remancipate the thing he has received.

   • 1988, The Irish Jurist - Volume 23, page 122:

     The hostile argument is easily constructed: a mancipation to remancipate is at best merely a temporary arrangement, at worst a fraudulent collusion; and a remancipation after a mancipation is evidence in itself of an agreement and obligation to remancipate.

   • 1994, Georges Duby, ‎Michelle Perrot, ‎Pauline Schmitt Pantel, A History of Women in the West - Volume 1, page 502:

     A daughter cannot in any way force her father to remancipate her, even if she is an adopted daughter; a wife, on the other hand, who has been repudiated [by] (or has repudiated) [her husband], can force her husband [to remancipate her], as if she had never been married to him.
