[ii], 1-138, 1-594, [ii]. pp Première édition. Planches vélin d'origine. Titre encré en noir au dos. frontispice montrant Carolus Magnus (Charlemagne) tenant l'église. Page de titre rouge et noir. Page de dédicace. Introductions et préface, texte. Quelques gravures sur bois attrayantes.

Écrit sur l'ordre de Charlemagne, il s'agit d'un récit, en quatre livres, du deuxième concile de Nicée (787). Ce concile traitait en grande partie de l'hérésie de l'iconoclasme et permettait plutôt l'adoration de Jésus, de Marie et des saints à l'aide d'images - et non à travers l'adoration des images elles-mêmes.
