Note 115 — Chapter XI · HISTORY OF SEPARATION AND DIVORCE UNDER ENGLISH AND ECCLESIASTICAL LAW

The Poenitentiale Theodori is contained in Haddan and Stubbs, Councils, III, 173-213; also that of Ecgberht, ibid., III, 413-31. Versions of these may be found in Thorpe, Ancient Laws, II, 1 ff., 129 ff.; also with many others in Wasserschleben, Bussordnungen; and in Schmitz, Bussbücher, 510 ff., 565 ff., who, contrary to the generally accepted view, traces (3 ff.) all the penitentials to Roman models. In general, see Geffcken, op. cit., 61-67; Freisen, op. cit., 785-92; Esmein, op. cit., II, 60-64; Perrone, De mat. christ., III, 374 ff.; Hinschius, "Das Ehescheidungsrecht nach den angelsächsischen und fränkischen Bussordnungen," Zeitsch. für deut. Recht, XX, 66 ff.; Rosenthal, Rechtsfolgen des Ehebruchs, 2 ff.; and especially Bennecke, Ehebruch, 34 ff. Luckock, Hist. of Marriage, 165-67, tries, of course, to take away the authenticity of Theodore's Penitential.
