| Abstract | The last two decades have seen the return to prominence of the overarching question of continuity and change across medieval canon law, helping to understand who had access to law, and how they chose to employ it. This session focusses on a critical database known as the Clavis Canonum. It seeks to demonstrate how this digital resource is being re-invigorated, and how the results of that renewal can illustrate the continued employment and even the adaptation of sources of canon law over the medieval period, and particularly spanning the appearance of the Decretum of Gratian. |
