Local Priests in the Latin West, 900–1050

The final part of the project was published by Cambridge University Press in October 2025, titled 'Local Priests in the Latin West, 900–1050'. It is a monograph co-written by the project's individual members that provides a new perspective on local priests in the transitional period between the Carolingian and Gregorian reforms. It integrates the themes explored in the special issue (see below), namely, resources and family ties of local priests and their relationship to the bishop, using a wide range of historical sources and methodologies.

The book is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
