medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
There is a rarely mentioned 3-volume collection of translated sources by
P. R. Coleman-Norton entitled "Roman state & Christian Church: a
collection of legal documents to A.D. 535" (London: S.P.C.K., 1966). I
haven't looked at it for years, and our library's copy is in remote
storage, but it *might* provide an easy way to identify some of the
materials you are looking for. Good luck. John
