'Christof Rolker provides for the first time a truly comprehensive examination of the letters' [of Ivo of Chartres] transmission. This, however, is only one of this outstanding work's achievements. For Rolker also re-assesses the state of canon law and theology in northern France at the beginning of the twelfth century and Ivo's role in the creation of a distinct canonistic jurisprudence ... I recommend this volume to any student of medieval life around 1100.' Bruce Brasington, The Medieval Review 'The author presents a painstaking and detailed study of the sources and the inter-relationship of the principal works attributed to Ivo: the Tripartita, Decretum, Panormia and Prologus. ... Rolker does clearly give the state of the question on Ivo's canonical works, provides a fuller context for these works, and shines a brighter light on these sources, and it is in just this way that Ivo's letters prove most valuable.' Becket Soule, Ecclesiastical Law Journal
