Dear Carolyn,
Well, to state the blindingly obvious, there's Gratian's _Concordia
discordantium canonum_ as a reasonably prominent specimen. Mr. Spilsbury
might do worse than to look at Stephan Kuttner's *Harmony from Dissonance:
An Interpretation of Medieval Canon Law,* originally published as a book
(Latrobe, PA: St. Vincent's Archabbey, 1960) and, I understand, still
available from the publisher in that form at a preposterous price ($5.00 or
something of the sort). The piece has subsequently been reset and reprinted
as a 16-page chapter in Kuttner's _History of Ideas and Doctrines of Canon
Law in the Middle Ages,_ 2nd ed. (Variorum, 1992).
