ABSTRACT As the nineteenth book of his Decretum, Bishop Burchard of Worms (d. 1025) included a penitential titled the Corrector or Medicus. Although the Corrector has traditionally been described as a manual of private confession, this article argues that it was primarily used to judge public penances at church courts and synods. Focusing on the manuscript transmission of the Decretum in the eleventh and twelfth centuries, we find that the Corrector was almost never copied apart from the rest of the Decretum and that it was almost always copied alongside other legal texts. Turning to individual abbreviations, we also find that Burchard’s collection was frequently reworked and rearranged so as to integrate canonical and penitential texts. These findings call into question current definitions of canon law collections and penitentials which presume functional exclusivity.

读布尔加德的校正器：中世纪中的经典律法和苦修

摘要作为蠕虫主教的第19本书，蠕虫主教Burchard（卒于1025年）包括一个名为校正器或Medicus的悔罪者。尽管传统上将校正器描述为私人供认手册，但本文认为，校正器主要用于判断教堂法院和宗教会议上的公共public悔。着眼于十一世纪和十二世纪的十进制手稿传输，我们发现校正器几乎从未与其余十进制一起被复制，并且几乎总是与其他法律文本一起被复制。关于个人缩写，我们还发现Burchard的藏书经常被重新编排和重新安排，以便将规范和经文整合。
