No tax in Europe can compare with tithes in its duration, the
extent of its application and the economic burden it imposed. In
this study Professor Constable considers the tithes paid to and by
monks in the Middle Ages. In particular he examines why, by the
twelfth century, most monks received tithes and many of them were
freed from payment, in spite of earlier theory and practice by
which monks, as distinct from the clergy, were usually forbidden to
receive tithes and required to pay them. In the early Middle Ages
monastic tithes were a matter not only of economics, but of
doctrine, canon law and monastic theory. Their history lies in the
borderland between theory and practice and Professor Constable
studies them against a background of changes in property
relationships, in the theory of tithing and in the nature of the
monastic order.
