Editio princeps
of “the ‘Libri Carolini’, composed on the command of Charlemagne around 790,
to refute the supposed conclusions of the Byzantine Second Council of Nicaea (787), particularly
as regards its acts and decrees in the matter of sacred images. They are much the fullest statement
of the Western attitude to representational art that has been left to us by the Middle Ages. The
‘Libri Carolini’ were never promulgated at the time, and remained all but unknown until they were
first printed in 1549, by the French theologian Jean Du Tillet (d. 1570), later bishop of Meaux.
They contain 120 objections against the Second Council of Nicaea, and are couched in harsh,
reproachful terms. The work was refuting a bad copy of a very incompetent translation of the
Byzantine decrees.” (Wikipedia). Cont. acquisition and ownership entries on title.
