Local Notes:

"An untitled facsimile generally referred to as Concilia Galliae. Printed in the 1830s for Sir Thomas Phillipps and his Middle Hill Press. Lithographic facsimile printed in red and black of 'a manuscript fragment in a half-uncial hand, probably from the 8th century Collection Conciliorum Galliae (Phillipps MSS no. 1743), originally part of the Meerman collection.' Information from Holzenberg, The Middle Hill Press - a checklist of the Horblit Collection [...] . His reference 342, where it is dated 183-. Has been sewn into a binding at some point, but now disbound. An example of anastatic printing - Michael Twyman in his Early lithographed books page 88 says 'But in many ways the most interesting of these surviving oddments is an impressive four-page facsimile of a medieval manuscript, probably the eighth-century Collectio Conciliorum Galliae from the Meerman collection, printed in red and black. It was produced two pages to a view on a sheet measuring approximately 12 1/2 x 20 inches, and pressure marks around the image reveal that it must have been printed from stone. It is to be found in many collections of Phillipps material and, though there is nothing to link it directly with Middle Hill, it seems to have been printed for him (perhaps by Cowell)' There do not seem to be any signs of pressure marks around the image here."--Vendor's description.
