Robert of Flamborough, Liber poenitentialis

Studies and Texts 18. 1971. xxx, 364 pp. ISBN 978-0-88844-018-1 • $79.95

A critical edition of a manual of instruction for confessors is a useful instrument for research into the religious, moral and social climate of life in the Church. The Liber poenitentialis of Robert of Flamborough is particularly important in this regard. For it was through this work that the new, formal, “scientific” canon law, which had been developed during the eleventh and twelfth centuries, first became available to the ordinary confessor and so began to influence the consciences of individuals in a new, very effective way. The consequences of this will merit much study and investigation; it is hoped that the present edition will prove to be an aid for research of this kind.
