Penance has traditionally been viewed exclusively as the domain of
church history but penance and confession also had important social
functions in medieval society. In this book, Rob Meens
comprehensively reassesses the evidence from late antiquity to the
thirteenth century, employing a broad range of sources, including
letters, documentation of saints' lives, visions, liturgical texts,
monastic rules and conciliar legislation from across Europe. Recent
discoveries have unearthed fascinating new evidence, established
new relationships between key texts and given more attention to the
manuscripts in which penitential books are found. Many of these
discoveries and new approaches are revealed here for the first time
to a general audience. Providing a full and up-to-date overview of
penitential literature during the period, Meens sets the rituals of
penance and confession in their social contexts, providing the
first introduction to this fundamental feature of medieval religion
and society for more than fifty years.
