Review(s)
"In short, university and seminary libraries may do well to purchase this new edition." (Norman Tanner, in: Gregorianum, Vol. 95 (2014), Fasc. IV, p. 874-875)
"Dieses ist eine höchst nützliche Ausgabe, sie stellt Texte von grundlegender Bedeutung nicht nur für die Entwicklung der Doktrin, sondern ganz allgemein für die Kirchengeschichte zusammen." (Dieter Girgensohn, in: Quellen und Forschungen aus italienischen Archiven und Bibliotheken 95, 2015, p. 493-494
“This three-volume work in four parts has now come to an end, but it is not the end of the project as a whole. Indeed, there seems to be no limit to the enthusiasm of the editor-in-chief who in volume II announces similar volumes with the decrees of the councils and synods of the Orthodox and Eastern Churches, this too a most needed project in its own right.” (J. Verheyden, in Ephemerides Theologicae Lovanienses, 92/4, 2016, p. 733)
Summary
The volume in two tomes contains texts which define the creation of an independent Church during the Middle Ages. In it are the decrees of two Councils of Constantinople (869-870 and 879-880) and the general Councils of the medieval west starting from the First Lateran Council (1123) to the Fifth Lateran Council (1517), including the Councils of Pisa (1409), Pavia-Siena (1423) and Basel after the transferral to Ferrara
