Collectio Canonum Hibernensis

Anonymous

What it is

Canons arranged by topic and drawn as readily from the Old Testament and Irish synods as from Roman councils, with each source named.

Why it lasted

It carried Irish legal method to the continent and shaped canon law collections there for three centuries.

Where to read it

Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.

These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
