Source: Complete as transcribed. The digitisation has its punctuation largely stripped, no capitals at the start of sentences, lowercase deus/dominus, and no canon numbers; the text is left as transcribed, with line breaks kept as paragraph breaks, the digitisation's split enclitics rejoined ("ideo que" → "ideoque") and bracketed headings turned into markdown headings. The English of Schroeder (1937) numbers the canons. · For each canon Schroeder's one-sentence summary (in italics) and the translated text. Schroeder's historical introduction, his comments and his footnotes are not included, and the OCR's running heads and page-end footnotes were stripped by script (research/sourcing/_scripts/councils_schroeder.py); a few inline footnote marks and OCR slips remain. Schroeder translates the disciplinary decrees only.
