"This is the story of how the church sought to establish norms for slave ownership
on the part of ecclesiastical institutions and personnel and for others' behavior
towards such slaves. The story begins in the New Testament era, when the earliest
Christian norms were established and continues through the Late Roman Empire, the
Germanic kingdoms, and the Carolingian empire, to the thirteenth-century establishment
of a body of ecclesiastical regulations (canon law) that would persist into the twentieth
century. Along with an analysis of the various policies and statutes, chronicles,
letters, and other documents from each of the various historical periods provide insight
into the situations of these unfree ecclesiastical dependents. The book stops in the
thirteenth century, which was a time of great changes, not only in the history of
the legal profession, but also in the history of slavery as Europeans began to reach
out into the Atlantic. Although this book is a serious scholarly monograph about the
history of church law, it has been written in such a way that no specialist knowledge
is required of the reader, whether a scholar in another field or a general reader
interested in church history or the history of slavery. Historical background is provided
and there is a short Latin lexicon"
