| Abstract | This second session in honour of the eminent historian of medieval canon law, Dr Linda Fowler-Magerl addresses the problems of the origins of new collections and dissemination of canon law in the 10th and the 11th centuries as the movement for ecclesiastical reform began to turn to law as a means of realizing its objectives. Individually the papers address the impact of law on the newly converted Danish lands, the much vexed question of the milieu in which the important reforming Collection in 74 Titles originated, and the significance of canon law to the sometimes marginalized Pope Alexander II. Collectively, they address the issue of how different reformers conceived of and employed canon law. |
