5.0 out of 5 stars
Best translation of a complete medieval canonical text.,
This review is from: Collection in Seventy-Four Titles: A Canon Law Manual (Mediaeval Sources in Translation) (Paperback)
As modern secular scholars continue to discover the untapped riches preserved in the texts and treatises of medieval canon law, most of them immediately confront the problem of working in Latin, especially juridic Latin. Gilchrist, an historian of immense credentials, chose wisely in translating the "Collection in 74 Titles" which is one of the earliest, most influential, and (from the point of view of readability) one of the most manageable legal texts available. Gilchrist's introduction and indexes along with the generally handsome production values make this the kind of work which one can simply sit down and enjoy, even if one approaches it with only the vaguest familiarity with the topics. In brief, a fascinating look into the life and values of Europe and the Church as both first emerged from several centuries of turmoil following the collapse of Rome.
