Danica Summerlin is Lecturer in Medieval History at the University of Sheffield where her research focuses on the role of canon law in government and society in the central Middle Ages. She is one of three leaders of an international project revamping the Clavis Canonum, a key database for the study of medieval canonical collections available online via the Monumenta Germaniae Historica. She is the co-editor of The Use of Canon Law in Ecclesiastical Administration, 1000–1234 (2018) with Melodie H. Eichbauer.
'Undergraduate and graduate students interested in the impact of
canon law should profit greatly from this work, as should those
interested in dialogues between sacred and secular, theology and
canon law, and the papacy and regional churches.' Jessalynn Lea
Bird, Speculum: A Journal of Medieval Studies
'Summerlin uses manuscript evidence intelligently, shining a strong
scholarly torch on dark places in the thickets of textual and
manuscript data provided by earlier scholars in highly technical
studies. She is at home in the major scholarly languages, notably
German, so crucial in this field. Her laborious and skilful work
makes for a dense text, but there are clear conclusions to each
chapter. Her findings are striking and, to this reviewer,
convincing.' David d'Avray, Journal Of Ecclesiastical History
