| Abstract | This session seeks to probe the relationship between compilers' intentions and the reception of canon law material in the period between the 'Reform' and Gratian. How did the compilers of individual collections react to events surrounding them and what, if anything, can the surviving fragments of their collections tell modern historians about their perspectives and understanding of contemporary issues? Focussing particularly on monasticism and marriage as seen through the circulation of that material in pre-Gratian canonical collections, it investigates the role of both compiler and text in the period, to better understand their interaction. |
