Description
Summary
Typescript copies of Louise R Loomis' translations of contemporary accounts of the Council of Constance, 1414-1418 (THE COUNCIL OF CONSTANCE; THE UNIFICATION OF THE CHURCH. Translated by Louise Ropes Loomis. Edited and Annotated by John Hine Mundy and Kenneth M. Woody. New York: Columbia University Press, 1961). These are not the accounts which constitute the text of the printed volume, but rather translations of other contemporary works made for her research, sometimes cited in the published "notes."
Originally the plan was for a 2 volume work, but this was later changed to 1 volume. All of the Jan Hus material was withdrawn, the largest portion of material in this collection. Material about others includes Cardinal Peter D'Ailly of Cambrai, John Petit, Pope Martin V, and Bishop-elect William of Strasburh, and annates on the tax problem. John H. Mundy, professor of history, Columbia University, and Kennerly M. Woody completed the editing of this book after Loomis' death.
