Description
Abstract (cited)

An attempt is made here to narrowing down the time in which the Irish synods excerpted in the CCH were held. It is suggested that they post-date the discussions in Ireland concerning the paschal question in the years between roughly 630 and 640. These synods are not mentioned in the Irish annals, but when viewed together they show that the Romani were not necessarily more progressive than the Hibernenses. The latter, however, also show an awareness of Irish secular law which would appear to pre-date the compilation of the corpus of Irish law.
