"The Seven Ecumenical Councils" by Henry R. Percival is a comprehensive compilation of the decrees and canons issued by the early Ecumenical Councils of the Christian Church.

Percival's work includes the doctrinal decisions, rulings, and disciplinary measures adopted by these councils, offering a primary source for understanding the development of Christian theology and ecclesiastical governance during this pivotal period. This edition is invaluable for scholars, theologians, and historians studying the history and teachings of the early Church.
