| - | The '''Canon Episcopi''' is an important document in the history of [[witchcraft]].{{ref|Stephens}} It is first attested in the ''Libri de synodalibus causis et disciplinis ecclesiasticis'' composed by [[Regino of Prüm]] around 906, but Regino considered it an older text; he, and later scholars following him, believed it to be from a "Council of Anquira" in 314, but no other evidence of this council exists, and scholars today consider it probably to be a ninth-century Frankish composition. It was included in [[Burchard of Worms]]' ''[[Decretum Burchardi]]'' (compiled between 1008 and 1012), an early attempt at collecting all of [[Canon law (Catholic Church)|Canon law]], and subsequently in [[Gratian (jurist)|Gratian's]] authoritative [[Corpus juris canonici]] of c. 1140. Because it was included in Gratian's compilation the text was treated as canon law for centuries, until [[Roman Catholic]] views on [[European witchcraft]] began to change dramatically in the [[late medieval]] period. | + | '''Regino of Prüm''' or '''of Prum''' (died 915 AD) was a [[Benedictine Order|Benedictine]] monk, who served as [[abbot]] of [[Prüm Abbey|Prüm]] (892–99) and later of [[St. Maximin's Abbey, Trier|Saint Martin's]] at [[Trier]], and chronicler, whose ''Chronicon'' is an important source for late [[Carolingian]] history. |
