Description:
'Long understood to be crucial evidence for the nature of the early medieval church, ...[these penitential books] are now used by historians as telling evidence for sexuality, violence, the family, death rituals, witchcraft and other topics central to the so-called new social and cultural history. The readable translations and detailed introductions provided here for each document make the material easily accessible.'-Caroline Walker Bynum, Columbia University
