Welcome to the Medieval Canon Law Virtual Library. This site is curated by David M. Freidenreich, Colby College, and Edward Reno III, Columbia University.
The purpose of this site is to bring together in a single virtual location publicly accessible electronic resources for the study of medieval canon law. It’s a work in progress, so please provide feedback and suggestions for further improvement.
Note: Please bookmark http://www.colby.edu/canonlaw for permanent access to this site, which will relocate from wordpress.com to Colby’s servers in the coming weeks.
The Medieval Canon Law Virtual Library has been made possible by Colby College, which hosts this site and many of its files. Special thanks to Columbia University Libraries Electronic Texts Service for facilitating the digitization of many of the documents found on this site; thanks as well to the Stephan Kuttner Institute of Medieval Canon Law at LMU Munich.
