medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture

The scriptoria of the cathedral chapters of Worms and Freising, in the late tenth and early eleventh centuries, produced entire books, in the area of canon law in particular.  See, e.g., Natalia Daniel, 'Handschriften des zehnten Jahrhunderts aus der Freisinger Dombibliothek', Münchener Beiträge zur Mediävistik und Renaissanceforschung, 11 (Munich, 1973), and Hartmut Hoffmann and Rudolf Pokorny, Das Dekret des Bischofs Burchard von Worms: Textstufen - Frühen Verbreitung - Vorlagen, MGH Hilfsmittel, 12 (Munich, 1991).
