The Lombardic Diplomas (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781088279373)

This is a short collection of documents between the successors of St. Columba and the kings of the Lombardic state. Initially, they are a sign of a civic guarantee for both the Catholic faith and the monastery in particular. They are given by the Lombard court to ensure that their own Arian leanings will not impact the state of the political impartially they have on their Italian subjects.
