This work explores the role of canon law in the ecclesiastical reform movement of the eleventh century, commonly known as the Gregorian Refom movement. Focusing on the Collectio canonum of Bishop Anselm of Lucca - hitherto largely unexplored in English - it is concerned with the symbiotic relationship between canon law and reform, and seeks to explore the ways in which Anselm''s writing can be seen in the context of the reformer''s need to devise and articulate strategies for the renovation of the Church and Christian society. Its principal contention is that Anselm''s collection cannot be seen merely as a catalogue of canon law, but also functioned to articulate, define, and propagate reformist doctrine in a time of great social and religious upheaval.
Industry Reviews
`a very successful interpretation of Anselm's attitudes towards the Gregorian reform, appropriately highlighting Anselm's agreements and disagreements with the principles of Pope Gregory VII.' Uta-Renate Blumenthal, Ecclesiastical History, vol.52/2, April 2001 `The author's candor in evaluating the state of the sources and scholarship is a valuable contribution.' Maureen C. Miller, American Historical Review, Apr. 00. `Cushing has accomplished difficult manuscript work for a young historian. There is evidence of real erudition in this book.' Maureen C. Miller, American Historical Review, Apr 00. `Historians have long acknowledged the importance of law in this reform movement, and Kathellen Cushing's work contributes a detailed example of how a leading figure in the movement used law.' Maureen C. Miller, American Historical Review, Apr 00. `This is an extremely well-written and useful study, which makes a substantial contribution to our map of developments in a crucial period of formation for Western canon law ... There is important work in embryo here and what is already in our hands makes its own significant contribution.' GRE, Heythrop Journal Vol 40, no4 Oct99
