The Paenitentiale Dusseldorpiense: Edition, Translation, and Commentary of the Incomplete Penitential in the Düsseldorf Manuscript Ms. B 113. – This work offers the first edition and translation of an incomplete penitential that can be found in a ninth century manuscript preserved in the University Library of Düsseldorf.
In his Studien zu den Quellen der frühmittelalterlichen Bußbücher, Ludger Körntgen was able to prove the relationship between this penitential and two other early medieval handbooks of penance, the so-called Paenitentiale Pseudo-Romanum and the Paenitentiale in duobus libris. In its surviving form, the Paenitentiale Dusseldorpiensa largely consists of canons, which form the core of many early medieval Frankish penitentials. Its translation and critical commentary should therefore be a welcome resource for anyone interested in the history of penance and the social history of early medieval Francia.
