Eucharist in Medieval Canon Law
«'The influence, construction, and use of medieval canon law is richly illuminated through such a focused study.' Kriston R. Rennie, Renaissance Quarterly»
Thomas Izbicki presents a new examination of the relationship between the adoration of the sacrament and canon law from the twelfth to fifteenth centuries. The medieval Church believed Christ's glorified body was present in the Eucharist, the most central of the seven sacraments, and the Real Presence became explained as transubstantiation by university-trained theologians.

«'The influence, construction, and use of medieval canon law is richly illuminated through such a focused study.' Kriston R. Rennie, Renaissance Quarterly»
«'Izbicki begins with an indispensible guide to the canon lawyers themselves. The reader will find herself drawn back to this useful reference often as she gets lost among the thicket of references necessary to the field. … The material that Izbicki brings to light in this book offers a host of valuable information on the everyday devotional life of medieval Christians as they celebrated the central ritual of their religion. Any scholar of the great medieval drama will find this book an invaluable source for uncovering the rich religious life of a millennium of western civilisation.'
