Opis

Providing for the first time the Latin texts and English translations of the three surviving versions of Chrodegang's Rule, (Regula Originalis Chrodegangi, Institutio Canonicorum, Regula Longior Canonicorum) this volume offers an invaluable resource to scholars of mediaeval Christian communities. Substantial introductions to each text provide historical context and bibliographic details, allowing them to be understood in a much fuller way than has hitherto been possible.

Recenzje

'... provides a useful and accessible place in which to study some important but often neglected early medieval documents.' Catholic Historical Review 'Students and teachers of medieval history will find this work a welcome source for the changing milieu of clerical common life in the early Middle Ages... The Latin is carefully translated into clear and comprehensible English, with many footnotes to satisfy the scholar.' American Benedictine Review
