Canon law is an unavoidable theme for medieval historians. It
intersects with every aspect of medieval life and society, and at
one point or another, every medievalist works on the law. In this
book, Kriston Rennie looks at the early medieval origins and
development of canon law though a social history framework, with a
view to making sense of a rich and complex legal system and
culture, and an equally rich scholarly tradition. It was in the
early Middle Ages that the ancient traditions, norms, customs, and
rationale of the Church were shaped into legislative procedure. The
structures and rationale behind the law's formulation - its
fundamental purpose, reason for existence and proliferation, and
methods of creation and collection - explain how the medieval
Church and society was influenced and controlled. They also, as
this short book argues, explain how it ultimately functioned.
