{"product_id":"the-hibernensis-book-1-roy-flechner-9780813231938","title":"The Hibernensis, Book 1: A Study and Edition","description":"The \u003ci\u003eHibernensis\u003c\/i\u003e is the longest and most comprehensive canon-law text to have circulated in Carolingian Europe. Compiled in Ireland in the late seventh or early eighth century, it exerted a strong and long-lasting influence on the development of European canon law. The present edition offers--for the first time--a complete text of the \u003ci\u003eHibernensis\u003c\/i\u003e combining the two main branches of its manuscript transmission. This is accompanied by an English translation and a commentary that is both historical and philological. The\u003ci\u003e Hibernensi\u003c\/i\u003es is an invaluable source for those interested in church history, the history of canon law, social-economic history, as well as intellectual history, and the history of the book. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWidely recognized as the single most important source for the history of the church in early medieval Ireland, the \u003ci\u003eHibernensis\u003c\/i\u003e is also our best index for knowing what books were available in Ireland at the time of its compilation: it consists of excerpted material from the Bible, Church Fathers and doctors, hagiography, church histories, chronicles, wisdom texts, and insular normative material unattested elsewhere. This in addition to the staple sources of canonical collections, comprising the acta of church councils and papal letters. Altogether there are forty-two cited authors and 135 cited texts. But unlike previous canonical collections, the contents of the Hibernensis are not simply derivative: they have been modified and systematically organised, offering an important insight into the manner in which contemporary clerical scholars attempted to define, interpret, and codify law for the use of a growing Christian society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Roy Flechner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0813231930\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813231938\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Catholic University of America Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 640\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 7.50w x 1.80d","brand":"Roy Flechner","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43947298488575,"sku":"9780813231938","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_8ab5c8ee-b69b-4630-9557-f190436bfb81.jpg?v=1681517889","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-hibernensis-book-1-roy-flechner-9780813231938","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
