Zum Ordensrecht der Prämonstratenser bis zur Mitte des 12. Jahrhunderts

This study presents an until now unknown original text of the first review of the Premonstratensian statutes from the year 1154/55 following the Munich manuscript Clm 1031 originating from the abbey of Windberg.  
 The oldest statutes of the order, edited by R. Van Waefelghem, have been ratified in 1130 during the first general chapter and were confirmed by Pope Innocent II on petition of the founder himself, Norbert of Xanten.  
 A decree of the general chapter from about 1140, concerning the whole order and regulating the dissolution of the double monasteries, has never existed. The famous decree, which prohibeted the further admission of women into the double monasteries, cannot have been issued by the general chapter before 1155. Probably it did not exist until the occidental schism (1159-1177).  
 22 decrees from 1140 to 1153 as well as the special statutes for the converses from 1154 are published about the above mentioned Munich manuscript.
