between the priests and the canons on the Disibodenberg. The reeve’s
bailiwick and the regulations for maintaining buildings, both ascribed to
Willigis, appear anachronistic. And if he did indeed mark out a smaller
legal site on the mountain, the question must remain unanswered as to
whether this defijinition corresponded with the boundaries that were fijirst
attributed to the monastery in a charter issued by Archbishop Heinrich
in 1147,53 as this document is likewise only extant in a late medieval copy
from Disibodenberg/Veldenz. The pastoral rights, which Ruthard supposedly
transferred, are unusually broadly expressed, and are directed at the
person of Abbot Burkhard.
