Ancient Laws and Institutes of England

Comprising Laws Enacted under the Anglo-Saxon Kings from Aethelbirht to Cnut

Published in 1840, this two-volume original-language compendium of medieval law remains a standard source for scholars. Volume 2 contains ecclesiastical law from the seventh to the tenth centuries, beginning with the eighth Archbishop of Canterbury, Theodore of Tarsus, an early reformer and uniter of the divided and complex Anglo-Saxon church.
