Lin, it looks like your best bet might be to get a copy of Giovan Domenico Mansi's '''[http://www.worldcatlibraries.org/wcpa/top3mset/78070035f1cfa139.html Sacrorum conciliorum nova et amplissima collectio]'''. The link will hopefully help you find it in a nearby library. You'd be most likely to need access to a college or university library, especially a Catholic institution, such as [http://lib5.nd.edu:8991/F/NCC7NGK6BSDQJUYAUAHSXJLC1A4U4HPFXTD3XPR4EUIDCFYTBH-05237?func=find-b&REQUEST=mansi&x=19&y=5&FIND_CODE=WAU&ADJACENT=N Notre Dame]. If you have trouble with Latin, the librarian may be able to help. If there's anything I can do long-distance in that regard, please leave a note on my [[User talk:Magda|talk page]].
:"There are two indispensable tools for the serious student of the history of the General Councils, one of them a source book and the other a history. The first, referred to always as Mansi, is a collection of all the known documentation of councils of every kind, made by '''John Dominic Mansi''', archbishop of Lucca, and published in 31 folio volumes in the eighteenth century, 1759-98, '''Sacrorum Concilium Nova et Amplissima Collectio'''. A new, revised edition was prepared and published 1899-1927. This includes the nineteenth-century councils and runs to 60 volumes." [http://www.christusrex.org/www1/CDHN/coun22.html]
I hope this helps. I wasn't able to find much else online besides a little at the [http://www.ccel.org/s/schaff/encyc/encyc08/htm/ii.iv.ii.htm Christian Classics Ethereal Library]. —[[User:Magda|magda]] 10:47, 7 Jul 2005 (EDT)
:Silly me. There's a [http://library.hchc.edu/uhtbin/cgisirsi.exe/PELsANybBA/0/142670008/8/28072 copy] at the campus I live on. I am going on vacation, but I'll be back around July 18 and will try to see what I can find then. I don't know your time constraints. —[[User:Magda|magda]] 11:19, 7 Jul 2005 (EDT)

Magda, you are a complete wonder for your insightful "heads-up!" Thank you so much for taking the time and helping me. While you are on vacation, I will be following up on these leads and I will get back to you at that point. My research is in the beginning stages so time is not a weighty factor, as of yet. You have been a veritable font of information and my gratitude is enormous. Be safe and I will talk to you soon...

And Joe, thank you for the nice welcome. I'm sure I will be here and about. During my Ph.D. program at the University of Memphis, I have found a particular fondness for the Book of Enoch and how the legends concerning Cain and his "offspring" have influence literature. Of course, Dante has been a huge influence on my research and in most all of my papers, I use Biblical references, such as one I recently submitted to the Milton Conference on "Paradise Lost."

Enough of my babbling... again thanks to both of you for your thoughfulness.
God bless,
Lin

Lin:

Greetings!

I think that this is a question for Fr. John, but I apologize if I am asking the wrong person. I am doing research on the First Council of Nicea and I am looking for the actual list of Bishops that attended. Your website is the only one that claims that there is a verified list, although the signatures may not be accurate.

If you could help me locate the source of the above material, I would probably shout for joy! lol.
Thanks, in advance, for helping...

Best,
Lin
