The reign of Pope Urban II (1088-1099) is often seen as a
turning-point in the period of medieval history known as the
Gregorian Reform. This volume presents for the first time modern
editions of, and commentary on, the decrees of Urban's first papal
council (at Melfi in 1089), and the excerpts of his acts found in
the enigmatic canon-law book labeled the Collectio Britannica. Both
editions are accompanied by English translations of the Latin
texts. These two sets of texts make up a substantial proportion of
the known documents produced by Pope Urban's chancery in the first
year and a half of his pontificate, a time of particular tension in
the medieval Church. This volume thus provides a hitherto
unavailable critical basis for evaluating the early period of his
reign, as well as a new assessment of the preservation and
diffusion of his acts and of the Britannica.
