| Summary: | Introduction; I. The Patristic Literature as the Fundamental Source of the Ecclesiolo- gical Contents of the Collections of Ecclesiastical Discipline; II. The Ecclesiological Standpoint as Reflected within the Canonical Collections of the High Middle Ages; Conclusion Before the middle of the 20th century, patristic and canon law studies did not pay sufficient attention to the ecclesiastical influence of the writings of the church fathers on the disciplinary material of the canonical collections of the different periods. A major change in this approach was beginning by the comprehensive work of Professor Charles Munier in 1957. The patristic sources and their gradually increasing presence in the most important medieval canon law collections, clearly have, in addition to their ecclesiastical significance, a specific ecclesiastical content. In this process the works of St. Jerome play a prominent role. Along with the use of a large number of theological canons from St. Augustine, which gradually became more and more dominant, the works of St. Jerome, together with the writings of St. Cyprian, constitute the most important ecclesiological pillars of the hierarchical function and sacramental activity of the Church in the canonical collections of the 11 lh-12,h centuries. |
