Quatuor concilia generalia
The Quatuor concilia generalia was a two volume book published in 1524 in Paris. It was edited by Jacques Merlin, printed by Jean Cornilleau and published by Galliot du Pré. It concerns four Ecumenical councils: the Third Council of Constantinople, the controversial Second Council of Nicaea, the Council of Constance and the dramatic Council of Basel.
Known copies
There are very few known extant copies:In volume one of the copy in the Bodleian there is the first example of an English bookplate David Pearson has suggested that the bookplate – painted on paper rather than printed – may have been put there by someone donating the book to Wolsey. Such a bookplate is not to be found in the second volume.
