| Abstract | The third and final session of this strand takes a closer look at the sources which bore most heavily upon Carolingian distinctions between monastic and canonical communities, considering the ways they were both adopted and adapted by contemporaries, not only in the Institutio Canonicorum of 816 but also in texts that, directly or indirectly, responded to it. Cinzia Grifoni's paper centres on Hrabanus Maurus' De Institutione Clericorum, and considers how the text was not simply a handbook for clerics, but can also be seen from the wider frame of ecclesiastical and liturgical reform that followed on from the Council of Aachen in 816. Veronika Wieser will take a look at the uses of the patristic sources in the Institutio Canonicorum, with a special emphasis on the use of Augustinian texts to justify the behaviour of the different ordines, while also asking how these sources were adapted for their use in early medieval reform texts. Finally, Molly Lester will offer a specifically Visigothic perspective on the sources of Carolingian reform by exploring the impact of Taio of Zaragoza's Liber Sententiarum, a florilegium of the works of Gregory the Great, on 9th-century efforts to correct church practice.
