Roger E. Reynolds
Ashgate Variorum
Hardback
336
1994
The two themes brought together in this volume - the canon law and the liturgy of the early medieval Latin Church - have close links as these articles reveal. At the basis of this lies that fact that the collections and manuscripts with which Professor Reynolds is concerned provide the source material for both fields of study. In the book particular emphasis is given to the Irish Collection canonum hibernensis and its many derivatives to works from Carolingian Salzburg and eleventh-century Southern Italy and to liturgical collections. The whole illustrates the need for liturgiologists to be aware of the riches in medieval legal sources and for legal historians to take account of the wealth of liturgical material that is a principal ingredient of the law of the Church and demonstrates how much one field can contribute to understanding the development and to the dating of the other.
