About this ebook
The Ecclesiastical Constitutions, attributed to King Solomon and Archbishop Seraphinus around 1103, reflect on the need for the Church to maintain discipline and uphold divine laws amidst societal challenges. The preface, addressed to Archbishop Seraphin, conveys a sense of humility from Albricus, who recognizes the significance of obedience over personal skill. The text critiques those who dismiss the importance of the Vercelli Council, arguing for a balanced approach to tradition and legal authority. It highlights the dual role of rulers as enforcers of justice and protectors of faith, aiming to guide the kingdom towards righteousness.
