His reading of an initial draft also caught many problems, both great and small, and I have greatly benefitted from his corrections and suggestions. What errors remain are my responsibility alone. Two senior colleagues, whom I also count as friends, must be specially thanked. Dr. Martin Brett has been a great support to me not only during this project but throughout my academic career. I am particularly grateful for his permission to use his unpublished work on the De edendo. Professor Dr. Peter Landau has been, for almost three decades, a second Doktorvater. I cannot thank him too much for his friendship and guidance. I hope what follows will reflect, if inadequately, my admiration for these scholars. Above all, I thank my wife, Darlene. Over the years, she has endured my enthusiasm for, and complaints about, Hincmar of Reims, Ivo of Chartres and, now, among others, William of Longchamp. Her good humor has only been exceeded by her unfailing love and support. I dedicate this book to her and to the One whose love is the fullness of the law.
