The two themes brought together in this volume - the canon law and the liturgy of the early medieval Latin Church - have close links, as these articles reveal. At the basis of this lies that fact that the collections and manuscripts with which Professor Reynolds is concerned provide the source material for both fields of study. In the book particular emphasis is given to the Irish Collection canonum hibernensis and its many derivatives, to works from Carolingian Salzburg and eleventh-century Southern Italy, and to liturgical collections. The whole illustrates the need for liturgiologists to be aware of the riches in medieval legal sources, and for legal historians to take account of the wealth of liturgical material that is a principal ingredient of the law of the Church; and demonstrates how much one field can contribute to understanding the development and to the dating of the other. Les deux thèmes réunis dans ce volume - le droit canon et la liturgie de l'Eglise Latine du haut moyan-âge - ont, comme le révèle ce groupe d'articles, des liens très étroits. Ceci reposant sur le fait que les collections et manuscrits, auxquels le professeur Reynolds s'intéresse, apportent la substance se trouvant à la source de ces deux terrains d'études. Dans le livre, une importance particulière est donnée au Collectio canonum hibernensis irlandais et à ses multiples dérivations, ainsi qu'aux travaux issus de Salzburg à l'époque carolingienne à ceux provenant d'Italie méridionale au 11è s. et aux collections liturgiques. L'ensemble illustre la nésessité pour les spécialistes en liturgie d'être conscients de l'abondance de sources légales médiévales et pour les historiens du droit de tenir compte de la richesse en matière liturgique et que forme l'un des ingrédients principaux du droit de l'Eglise; il démontre aussi combien un domaine peut contribuer è la compréhension du développement et à l'assignation de date
