Karl Hefele's 'Conciliengeschichte' was one of the most significant works of Catholic historical scholarship in the nineteenth century. William Clark's translation presents the first two and a half volumes of Hefele's study, up to the Second Council of Nicaea (the German original is nine volumes, through the year 1536). This study marked a new stage in the study of conciliar action.

Karl Joseph Hefele (1809-1893), Roman Catholic prelate and church historian. Hefele followed his teacher Mohler at Tubingen in 1836, where he remained until his election as bishop in 1869. His edition of the 'Apostolic Fathers' was well respected and went through several editions. His work on the Epistle of Barnabas led the way to a more correct appreciation of the ancient document. But it is his work on the councils of the church for which he is most known.
