There's a huge literature on this subject, of course, but some of the major
works include:
de Lubac, Henri. Corpus mysticum: l'eucharistie et l'Eglise au moyen age
(2nd ed. Paris, 1949)
Dumoutet, E. Corpus Domini: Aux sources de la piete eucharistique
medievale (Paris, 1942)
Jorissen, H. Die Entfaltung der Transsubstantionslehre bis zum Beginn der
Hochscholastik (Munster, 1965)
Macy, G. The Theologies of the Eucharist in the Early Scholastic Period
(Oxford, 1984)
For your puposes specifically:
de Montclos, M. Lanfranc et Berenger. La controverse eucharistique du XIe
siecle (Louvain, 1971)
Macdonald, A.J. Berengar and the Reform of Sacramental Doctrine (London, 1930)
Hope this helps.
