 | | It was compiled between 685 and 751, and was constantly employed until the nth century, when, owing to the changed circumstances of the Church, it fell into disuse, and was soon forgotten and lost. |
 | | During the I7th century a manuscript of the Liber was discovered in Rome by the humanist, Lucas Holstenius, who prepared an edition for publication; for politic reasons, however, the papal authorities would not allow this to appear, as the book asserted the superiority of a general council over the pope. |
 | | The two existing manuscripts of the Liber are in the Vatican library, Rome, and in the library of St Ambrose at Milan. |
