• Resumen

  • Three bishops of the diocese of roda / Barbastro, on the eastern fringe of the kingdom of Aragon,played an important role in the reforms of the church and in the study ans teaching of canon law in the late leventh and early twlfth centuries.Many details concerning the work of these three bishops-Raymund Dalmacii (1076-1094), Pons (1097-1104) and St.raymund of Barbastro (1104-1126)-would be lost to history but for their survival in the so-called 2book of St.raymund", Tarragona Public Library MS 26. this book has long been known to the historians of canon law because it preserves one of the three extant copies of the important 2collectio Tarraconensis2 8first version9. In addition to that collection, however, the codex contains some sixty folios of materials illustrating the activities of our three bishops: their relations with Rome, with their chapter, with their fellows bishops, and with the lay lords and population, Jewish and moslem as wll as Christian, in thei region.in the essay I discuss the context and the content of this codex, and suggest some of the ways that it contributes to deepending our understanding of canon law and reform in this turbulent and transformative period of medieval history.
