The theology of sacred or clerical orders of the Latin Church in
the high and later Middle Ages developed from an amalgam of texts
written from late patristic antiquity through to the early 12th
century. Such texts, many studied and edited here, include letters,
tracts, sermons, liturgical commentaries, ordination instructions,
and canon law pieces. Within these texts multiple topics might be
considered, such as the Old and New Testament origins of each of
the clerical grades, their number and hierarchical ranking, the
duties, dress and moral conduct of a cleric, and ordination ritual.
Particularly striking are the multiple duties assigned each grade
and their modification in various parts of the Western Church. Many
of these texts found their way not only into more formal
theological treatments of sacred orders, but also into ordination
rites. Probably the most public and visible duty of a cleric was
his function as a eucharistic officer, and one essay in this
collection deals with perhaps the most famous early medieval
depiction of this clerical ritual on the ivory covers of the
9th-century Drogo Sacramentary.
