Revised Book of Discipline

The Revised Book of Discipline is an edition within the tradition of Discipline texts. It is described as having been adopted at the time of the Reconstitution, where it defined eight types of liaison and sanctioned two of them.

First Appearance and Context

The work is cited in a reference entry that surveys historical attitudes toward liaisons. In that account, the Revised Book of Discipline appears as a post‑Reconstitution codex that expands earlier treatments by enumerating eight liaison types and sanctioning two.

Roles/Actions and Affiliations

• Serves as a formal codification of rules regarding liaisons within the framework of Discipline.
• In the described usage, sanctioned liaisons are subject to defined rules and are solemnized by an Aut witnessed by at least three people.
• Communities that deviate from the Discipline by permitting other liaison types are described as subject to disciplinary action by the Inquisition, while communities may also choose to sanction fewer types (including none).

Relationships

• Precedent: Earlier formulations attributed to Saunt Cartas in the Discipline mention four liaison types and forbid all of them.
• Successor: The Second New Revised Book of Discipline later describes seventeen liaison types, sanctions four, and informally acknowledges two others.
• Context: Part of the ongoing editorial and terminological history of the community’s Discipline.

Descriptions/Characteristics
