Alexander III's 1179 Lateran Council, was, for medieval
contemporaries, the first of the great papal councils of the
central Middle Ages. Gathered to demonstrate the renewed unity of
the Latin Church, it brought together hundreds of bishops and other
ecclesiastical dignitaries to discuss and debate the laws and
problems that faced that church. In this evaluation of the 1179
conciliar decrees, Danica Summerlin demonstrates how these decrees,
often characterised as widespread and effective ecclesiastical
legislation, emerged from local disputes which were then subjected
to a period of sifting and gradual integration into the local and
scholarly consciousness, in exactly the same way as other
contemporary legal texts. Rather than papal mandates that were
automatically observed as a result of their inherent papal
authority, therefore, Summerlin reveals how conciliar decrees
should be viewed as representative of contemporary discussions
between the papacy, their representatives and local bishops,
clerics, and scholars.
