The scholarly value of this edition lies in the accompanying commentary, which brings the penitential practices of Anglo- Saxon England into a broader medieval European context. Scholars focusing on continental Europe who might otherwise overlook this volume will nevertheless find it a valuable resource. The subject matter of the text and extensive glossary also make the edition an excellent candidate for translation in the classroom.

With this new edition by R.D. Fulk and Stephan Jurasinski, a gap in the availability in print of the Old English (OE) penitentials has been filled most satisfactorily. The edition complements very well the existing editions of the other vernacular penitential texts ... and it can be studied fruitfully alongside the online edition by allen J. Frantzen.

Mark Atherton, Review ofEnglish Studies

The Canons are one of the earliest handbooks of penance to appear in any West European vernacular. The material shows the Anglo-Saxons addressing matters ranging from baptism and the ordination of priests to the conduct of the married and sexual norms. Less a translation of the judgements attributed to Theodore, Archbishop of Canterbury (d. 690), than an adaptation of these materials, the work is of major importance for specialists in Old English and historians of medieval Europe generally, affording an early view of what pastoral care in early England may have looked like which is more authentic than the Latin texts on which they are based.
