Bishops, Texts and the Use of Canon Law around 1100: Essays in Honour of Martin Brett

By Bruce C. Brasington

The essays in this volume address issues relating to the compilation and transmission of canon law collections, the role of bishops in their dissemination, and the interpretation and use of law in the eleventh and twelfth centuries. These reflect important areas of contention in the historiographical literature and will further the debates regarding the development of the practical application of canon law within Europe, especially after c.1080.
