About this book
This is the first complete account of the history of this foundation, which existed from 1036/41 until 1802. Using numerous illustrations, the author elucidates the complex history of this double-apsed church integrated into the Roman Porta Nigra with the cell of St. Simeon. This church was almost totally destroyed in the 19th century. The capitular buildings, which are still largely standing, belong to the oldest in Germany. The volume contains detailed documentation of the internal structure of a secular chapter and its property, with special emphasis on its liturgical functions. Numerous individual biographies of the canons give a colourful picture of the life and work of the old chapter. Light is also thrown on the involvement of individual canons in the service of the diocesan bishop.

Reviews
"So ist aus diesem Buch ein Trierer Denkmal geworden, das in der Epoche des immer schneller und kurzlebiger werdenden Wissenschaftsbetriebes den Wert kompromissloser Gelehrsamkeit behauptet."
