Brundage Zusammenfassung It is impossible to understand how the medieval church functioned -- and in turn influenced and controlled the lay world within its care -- without understanding the development! character and impact of `canon law'! its own distinctive law code. However important! this can seem a daunting subject to non-specialists.
