The Admonitio synodalis is a lengthy set of instructions for local priests, designed to be read out at a diocesan synod. It outlines expectations for their moral conduct, technical competence, sacramental practice, and pastoral activity. It was compiled in the early tenth century, and its content is entirely based on Regino of Prüm's Libri duo de synodalibus causis et disciplinis ecclesiasticis. The Admonitio synodalis survives in over a hundred manuscripts from the tenth century onwards, including several manuscripts of Burchard‘s Liber decretorum.
The standard edition was published by Robert Amiet in 1964, but this edition does not take into account the version of the text found in the earliest manuscripts, notably Bruxelles, KBR, 495–505 (saec. X).
A summary of the contents of this version can be found here.
