, ▁in ▁a ▁series ▁of ▁jud g ments ▁known ▁today ▁as ▁the ▁Pa en it ent iale ▁The od ori . ▁It ▁is ▁possible ▁that ▁The odore ▁found ▁a ▁copy ▁of ▁the ▁Lib ell us ▁already ▁at ▁Can ter bury ; ▁however , ▁given ▁that ▁no ▁one ▁in ▁England ▁previous ▁to ▁The odore ' s ▁arch ie pis cop acy ▁seems ▁to ▁have ▁known ▁of ▁the ▁Lib ell us , ▁it ▁is ▁equally ▁pla us ible ▁that ▁the ▁Lib ell us ▁was ▁one ▁of ▁the ▁texts ▁that ▁The odore ▁brought ▁with ▁him ▁from ▁Italy ▁when ▁he ▁arrived ▁in ▁Can ter bury ▁in ▁ 6 6 9 . ▁It ▁is ▁known ▁that ▁The odore ▁brought ▁numerous ▁books ▁with ▁him ▁from ▁Italy , ▁and ▁that ▁at ▁least ▁one ▁of ▁these ▁books ▁was ▁a ▁canon ▁law ▁collection ▁very ▁much ▁like ▁the ▁one ▁prepared ▁at ▁Bob bio ▁some ▁dec ades ▁earlier ▁( i . e . ▁the ▁Bob i ensis ). ▁Elli ot ▁has ▁spec ulated ▁that ▁The odore ▁introduced ▁a ▁Bob i ensis - type ▁collection ▁to ▁Can ter bury ▁in ▁the ▁second ▁half ▁of ▁the ▁sevent h ▁century , ▁and ▁thereby ▁finally ▁delivered ▁the ▁Lib ell us ▁( as ▁part ▁of ▁the ▁Bob bi ensis ) ▁to ▁its ▁originally ▁intended ▁destination . ▁This ▁hypothesis ▁is ▁supported ▁by ▁the ▁fact ▁that ▁it ▁was ▁only ▁shortly ▁after ▁The odore ' s ▁ten ure ▁at ▁Can ter bury ▁that ▁Ang lo - S ax ons ▁begin ▁to ▁demonstrate ▁knowledge ▁of ▁the ▁Lib ell us . ▁ ▁B ede
