"Regino of Prum's Two Books are usually described as a canon law collection composed in the tenth century to aid bishops in overseeing their clergy and people. Instead, they should be regarded as a pedagogical tool to foster a case-based and tentative approach to problem resolution that avoids abstraction and strives to mitigate legalism. This is the first complete translation of the Two Books into English."--
