His help and advice have been truly invaluable throughout the writing of this book. Many thanks are due also to Mr Timothy McFarland, Professor Nigel Palmer, Dr Paul Crossley, and Dr Martin Davies for insights and corrections, as well as for help in obtaining information and answering queries in the course of my research. Although I have not been able to follow up on all of their suggestions, each has contributed to giving me a new perspective and a clearer understanding of my topic. The Deutsche Akademische Austauschdienst (DAAD) and the Ecclesiastical History Society have made available generous grants. Dr Jussi Hanska and Heather Padgen have been very helpful and patient in different stages of preparing this book for publication. Special thanks go to Dr Michèle Mulchahey, for inspiring me with a fascination for medieval texts in the first place, and most of all, to my family, as always, for their never-failing encouragement and support in so many ways.
