These canons (or rules) for church organization and life and
Christian morals issued at a council held in Constantinople in
691/2 form the foundation of Byzantine Canon Law. They show an
intense concern to restore the proper discipline of clerical life
after the chaos brought about by the Arab invasions. The rules for
the laity show a concern to secure obedience to the Church's rules
about marriage, proper respect for sacred space, and the
suppression of customs of pagan origin. Particular interest
attaches to the canons that express disapproval of certain customs
of the Western Church and of the Armenian Church. Was this an
attempt to impose Byzantine hegemony, or simply a revulsion at
customs that seemed wrong? The Byzantine emperor tried repeatedly
to get the Pope to give the new canons the stamp of his approval;
his failure marks an important stage in the mounting divergence
between the Greek and the Roman Churches. The translation is
accompanied by full annotation, while the introduction sets the
council in its historical context, in both the history of the early
medieval world and the development of Eastern Canon Law.
