Medieval Canon Law

Beschreibung

It is impossible to understand how the medieval church functioned, influenced and controlled the lay world within its care, without understanding `canon law'. This book examines its development from its beginnings to the end of the Middle Ages, updating its findings in light of recent scholarly trends and a deeper look at the sources of law.
