Abstract
The Ἐπιτίμια κοινά, attributed to Theodore the Studite, were received in various versions (still unpublished, except for the text published in Patrologia Graeca). In this article the author publishes the text of the penitential in use at the monastery of St. Nicola di Casole (Otranto) and St. Mary of Patir (Rossano). The two versions show similarities and differences relating to the greater or lesser seriousness of the sins and the severity of their punishment ; they shed light on the practice of penance in the two Greek-Italian monasteries and represent a major source to learn about the relationships among the monks, between the monks and the hegumen, and between the community and the outside world.
