Ideological Foundations of Early Irish Law and Their Reception in Anglo-Saxon England, c. 600-c. 900
, Brepols, 2025 Hardback, 322 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Language: English. ISBN 9782503607313.
Summary Old Testament Levites who considered the Law of Moses to be the living law: this has long been the established view among many scholars for how early Irish jurists perceived themselves, as well as how they saw the broader theoretical and religious bases of their jurisprudence. In this volume, however, Kristen Carella offers a timely reassessment of scholarly opinion, exploring Irish legal texts within the broader context of both vernacular Irish and Hiberno-Latin literature to argue that early Irish Christian intellectuals in fact saw themselves as gentile converts, subscribing to an orthodox Christian faith that was deeply infused with Pelagian theology. Certain aspects of Irish legal ideology, particularly Irish views of divine history and pseudo-historical ideas about their own ethnogenesis, moreover, extended out of Ireland and into Anglo-Saxon England; their impact can be seen on lawmakers such as Alcuin, when he helped draft the Anglo-Latin Legatine Capitulary of 786, and King Alfred of Wessex, when he composed the Old English prologue to his law code in the late-ninth century. Through this approach, this volume not only challenges long-held scholarly views on Irish legal ideology and its influences beyond Ireland, but also provides a new paradigm for intellectual relations between early medieval Ireland and England.

The essays collected in this volume focus on a prominent aspect of Anglo-Saxon culture: educational texts and the Insular manuscripts which have preserved them. The English imported manuscripts and texts from the Continent, whilst a series of foreign masters, from Theodore of Tarsus to Abbo of Fleury, brought with them knowledge of works which were being studied in Continental schools. Although monastic education played a leading role for the entire Anglo-Saxon period, it was in the second half of the tenth and early eleventh centuries that it reached its zenith, with its renewed importance and the presence of energetic masters such as AEthelwold and AElfric. The indebtedness to Continental programs of study is evident at each step, beginning with the Disticha Catonis. Nevertheless, a number of texts initially designed for a Latin-speaking milieu appear to have been abandoned (for instance in the field of grammar) in favour of new teaching tools. Besides texts which were part of the standard curriculum, Anglo-Saxon manuscripts provide abundant evidence of other learning and teaching instruments, in particular those for a specialized class of laymen, the Old English laece, the healer or physician. Medicine occupies a relevant place in the book production of late Anglo-Saxon England and, in this field too, knowledge from very far afield was preserved and reshaped. All these essays, many by leading scholars in the various fields, explore these issues by analysing the actual manuscripts, their layout and contents. They show how miscellaneous collections of treatises in medieval codices had an internal logic, and highlight how crucial manuscripts are to the study of medieval culture.
