PRE F ACE Category Theory is rapidly coming of age as a Mathematical discipline.

In this process it now ap'-

pears that a central role will be played by the notion of an enriched category.

These categories,

with hom­sets in a closed category,­­in particular, in a symmetric monoidal closed category­­seemed initially very complex and difficult to manage effectively.

However, independent work by various

experts­­Yoneda, Linton,

Eilenberg­Kelly,

Lambek, Bunge, Ulmer, Gray, Palmquist, and others­has considerably improved the situation.

A vital

step was the discovery of the proper use of tensors, cotensors, and Kan extensions for enriched categories (A discovery made simultaneously and independently by Benabou and by Kelly with Day).

As a result, an

efficient presentation of enriched categories is now possible. This paper by Dubuc collects all these ideas in a compact exposition which makes this efficiency very clear­­and which also serves as a basis for Dubuc's own original contributions.

I have, there-

fore, recommended to the editors of the

Notes

series the rapid publication of this paper, to provide easy access to this foundation for future development.
