Canones Theodori is the traditional name given to an early medieval penitential handbook attributed to Theodore of Canterbury. It travels in various forms, containing several individual penitentials and other canon law material. The most important one is the Discipulus Umbrensium composed in Northumbria within approximately a decade or two after Theodore's death.
