Why did bishops turn to the papacy for advice in late Antiquity?
And what does the reception of these decretals reveal about the
legal and religious culture of the mid-thirteenth century? This
interpretative volume seeks to explain the first decretal age of
late antiquity, placing the increased demand for papal
jurisprudence - long before it exerted its influence through
religious fear - within its social broad context. D. L. d'Avray
then traces the reception of this jurisprudence through to the
mid-thirteenth century, and the post-Gratian decretal age. Along
the way he explores the role of Charlemagne and 'Pseudo-Isidore',
which included many genuine early decretals alongside forged ones.
Similarities between the Latin world c. 400 and c. 1200 thus help
explain parallels between the two decretal ages. This book also
analyses decretals from both ages in chapters on pagan marriages,
clerics in minor orders, and episcopal elections. For both ages the
relation between canon law and other religious genres is
elucidated, demonstrating many fascinating parallels and
connections.
