He worked to resolve the Great Schism (between the popes of Rome and Avignon) and played an important role at the Council of Constance, where he influenced the decisions concerning the fate of the Hussites. His extensive writings on ecclesiology, reform, pastoral care and mysticism were popular during the later Middle Ages and were frequently printed during the second half of the fifteenth century, both as individual treatises and in collected editions.Two volumes bound in one, being the first book of the fourth edition of Jean Gerson’s works, edited by Peter Schott and Johann Geiler von Kaysersberg, bound with the (often missing) index to the complete works. This first volume contains some of Gerson's most important work including De unitate Ecclesiae, and Tractatus de potestate ecclesiastica et origine juris et legum, a treatise on ecclesiastical power and on the origin of right and laws. The volume also includes most of his works concerning magic, astrology and visions such as the important and hugely influential treatises Trilogium Astrologie theologistate, De libris astrologicis non tolerandis, De Probatione Spirituum, De distinctione verarum visionum a falsis, and De erroribus circa artem magicam as well as his essay against the sect of the Flagellants. In 1398 the theological faculty of the University of Paris had issued a decree condemning, in 28 articles, magical arts and sorcery, following which Gerson produced these several brief works criticizing various forms of superstition and magic. To the first of these, De erroribus circa artem magicam of 1402 (half of which is devoted to questions of demonic existence and power), he appended the list of the 1398 condemnations which he himself had helped to orchestrate, and also included the complete text of the confession of Jean de Bar, who was accused of necromancy, and condemned to death. Gerson's treatise De Distinctione Verarum Visionum a Falsis, dealt with ‘discretione spirituum’ (the discernment of spirits) and sought to lay out methods for determining whether a mystical vision was true or false, or in other words inspired by God or the Devil. At the Council of Constance, in 1415, he was called on to help decide whether or not Bridget of Sweden’s visions were authentic. He felt they were not and wrote another treatise, De Probatione Spirituum, which set out principles and procedures for distinguishing good spirits from evil ones. He was also consulted by Charles VII on Jeanne d’Arc's visions.The South German binding is very similar in its design to one in Henry Davis Gift, volume II, page 325.
