Two English excerpt translations exist and neither is complete. McNeill and Gamer's contents list, read in the 1938 archive.org OCR, has 'From the capitularies of Theodulf of Orleans', pp. 395-397, in its section of synodical decisions. Paul Edward Dutton's Carolingian Civilization: A Reader (Broadview, 2004) lists among its contents 'Theodulf of Orleans: precepts for the priests of his diocese', as the HOLLIS contents note shows. HOLLIS 'Theodulf capitula English translation' returns nothing, and the only fuller English treatment of Theodulf is of other works (his verse, ACMRS 2014, and his Apocalypse commentary, Medieval Institute Publications 2019). The Latin is edited in the Monumenta Germaniae Historica, Capitula episcoporum I, on dMGH.
Theodulf's chapters are the most widely diffused episcopal statute of the Carolingian world, copied into every corner of the Frankish church and translated into Old English twice; they show what a bishop actually demanded of a village priest. English readers have only excerpted paragraphs, so the document's practical order, its sequence of interrogation and remedy, is lost, and with it the best evidence for how Carolingian reform reached the parish.
