Vatican Council II, Volume 1: The Conciliar and Postconciliar Documents

Vatican Council II: The Conciliar and Post Conciliar Documents contains the sixteen documents issued by the Second Vatican Council itself, plus a rich collection of post conciliar documents related to its implementation. These documents, in the well-known translation of Austin Flannery, provide the context for understanding the teaching of the Council and the changes it brought about in the life of the Church. Volume 1 includes the 16 original constitutions and decrees and 49 documents issued after the close of the Council.
