A new edition of the Rule of S. Chrodegang, bishop of Metz
The Regula Canonicorum, composed by Chrodegang of Metz (715-766 bc.), has been studied to date for some partial aspects, but I noticed the lack of a complete work about it: that's the object of my researches. My aim is to give off a sort of definitive edition of the Rule, with a commentary, a short dictionary of Church vocabulary, in which it's possible to place the rule in its historical background and understand the reasons of its creation.
I'm trying to point out all the problematic aspects that scholars indicated or just suggested without giving a fulfilling explanation; for instance, the link between the edition by Chrodegang himself and the following and natural adjustments (due to the normative nature of this kind of text) made by his successors. As regards this important question, I'd like to underline the huge cleft caused by some chapter whose language and composition are deeply different from the whole text (the most evident - even if none has pointed it out completely yet - is the famous chapter regarding the clothes of the of the clerks, always quoted because of the repetitive use of the demonstrative ille with something like a proto-article function; this usage has no correspondent out of that specific chapter, therefore we must think about an influence from the ancient and rough Consuetudinarii, or that some textual corruption has been made).
