| Abstract | Efforts to renew and reform laws and customs reflect moments of crisis, wherein actors perceive a discrepancy between their ideals and their social-political realities. Such moments arose frequently in the context of 'Insular' and 'Continental' encounters from 500-900, when the Irish and Anglo-Saxon churches entered into increasingly close contact with their Continental counterparts. These encounters brought into relief the differences between these churches' respective disciplinary and legal traditions, and resulted in several ideological crises and movements for canonical reform. This session will explore some of the ways in which these interactions led to significant innovations in medieval canon law. |
