Select Acts (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798869158574)

This is a collection of nine ecclesial acts, composed by the Cardinal John Bessarion, relating to the fate of some churches under Greek jurisdiction and what their fate will be because of the contemporary fate of the late Eastern Roman Empire. Select Acts grant some insight into the deteriorating state of the late Byzantine church, and the short lived attempt to achieve full union between the Catholic and Orthodox faiths following the conclusion of the Council of Florence in 1439 AD.
