is a collection of acts of Christian councils by Jacques Merlin. It includes
the first printing of the so-called pseudo-Isidorian decretals, together with
the Donation of Constantine. The work discusses Ecumenical councils: the Third
Council of Constantinople (680-681), the Second Council of Nicaea (787), the
Council of Constance (1414-18), and the Council of Basel (1431-1449). See S.
Williams, Codices pseudo-Isidoriani: a Palaeographico-Historical Study, With a
Foreword by Horst Fuhrmann, New York, 1971 (Bib# 4102694/Fr# 163 in this
collection). The work was suppressed on publication and resultingly rare. It
was proved spurious by, among others, Bodley’s librarian Thomas James (1612;
Bib# 4102690/Fr# 159 in this collection) and David Blondel (1628; Bib# 4102691/Fr#
160 in this collection).</span></p><p></p>
