The Canons are one of the earliest handbooks of penance to appear
in any West European vernacular. The material shows the
Anglo-Saxons addressing matters ranging from baptism and the
ordination of priests to the conduct of the married and sexual
norms. Less a translation of the judgements attributed to Theodore,
Archbishop of Canterbury (d. 690), than an adaptation of these
materials, the work is of major importance for specialists in Old
English and historians of medieval Europe generally, affording an
early view of what pastoral care in early England may have looked
like which is more authentic than the Latin texts on which they are
based.
