Asseman, 1838—together 6 vols. 4to. calf gilt Romoe, 1762-1838 25 0 0 A work of extreme rarity owing to the destruction of nearly all the copies by fire. The addition of Vol. X of Mai’s Scriptores Veteres, containing the Ebediesu, further enhances the value of this set. 663 Canones, et Decreta sacrosancti oecvmenici, et generalis Concilii Triden- tini . . sm. folio, LARGE PAPER, in the original smooth red morocco, covered with gold tooling and hearing the arms of a Bishop of the Caraffa family; from the library of the Duke of Sessa Romoe, apud Paulum Manutium, 1564 6 6 0 This is one of the rare authenticated copies which have the autograph inscriptions of the Secretary and the two Notaries of the Council, attesting the correctness of the book. The Decrees of the Council of Trent as originally issued, authenticated by its own officers for the use of one of the Bishops, would form a remarkable item in any collection of books on Ecclesiastical Law and the History of the Church. 664 CHAIMIS.

Regia, 1644, 90 0 0 “ Cette collection se tronve difficilement,”—says Brunet; a remark which applies with tenfold force to the occurrence of such a superb uniform copy as this. When it is remembered that Mansi’s great collection of Councils stops short with the fifteenth century, the value of the older collection becomes apparent. This is usually called the Eoyal or the Louvre collection. 667 Concilia. Nova Collectio Conciliorum.
