Ph.D. in Medieval European History.
My dissertation, "The Salzburg Codex: An Episcopal Handbook for Care of Souls and Church Management, c. 900–1025," provides the first full-length treatment of the “Salzburg Codex” (Salzburg, Erzabtei St. Peter, Benediktinerstift, Bibliothek, a.IX.32) since the late nineteenth century. The codex is an edited volume that contains 218 folios of various texts, including canon law collections, penitentials, pamphlets, conciliar decrees, and others. This manuscript has received sporadic scholarship because of its puzzling array of contents and its murky provenance. This study provides clarity on this enigmatic manuscript and places it within its cultural, religious, and political framework as an artifact of the long tenth century. It also evaluates how the canonical knowledge in the Salzburg Codex was likely used and valued.
