Summary:

"This study examines all forms of penitential practice in the Ottonian and Salian Reich, c.900-c.1050. This crucial period in the history of penance, falling between the Carolingians' codification of public and private penance, and the promotion of the practice of confession in the thirteenth century, has largely been ignored by historians."--Jacket.
