First edition. Rare collection of all four volumes in first edition. The volumes appeared successively from 1772 to 1777, which is why the complete collection is rarely found in libraries.
Contemporary full glazed and marbled calf bindings. Decorated spine with raised bands. Red morocco title and volume labels. Some pages browned, some foxing and corner water stain at bottom of page on several leaves, but handsome copy.
Important work, of great erudition, on the history and role of councils (ecumenical, provincial...) within the Catholic Church. The work aims to be exhaustive and details the ordinances and edicts of all councils.
