The Chrodegang Rules - The Rules for the Common Life of the Secular Clergy from the Eighth and Ninth Centuries. Critical Texts with Translations and Commentary

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.
