Papal Jurisprudence c. 400 - Sources of the Canon Law Tradition (Hardcover)

In the late fourth century, in the absence of formal church
councils, bishops from all over the Western Empire wrote to the
Pope asking for advice on issues including celibacy, marriage law,
penance and heresy, with papal responses to these questions often
being incorportated into private collections of canon law. Most
papal documents were therefore responses to questions from bishops,
and not initiated from Rome. Bringing together these key texts,
this volume of accessible translations and critical transcriptions
of papal letters is arranged thematically to offer a new
understanding of attitudes towards these fundamental issues within
canon law. Papal Jurisprudence, c.400 reveals what bishops were
asking, and why the replies mattered. It is offered as a companion
to the forthcoming volume Papal Jurisprudence: Social Origins and
Medieval Reception of Canon Law, 385-1234.
