NPNF2-14. The Seven Ecumenical Councils
The work intrusted to me of preparing this volume evidently can be
divided into two separate parts. The first, the collecting of the
material needed and the setting of it before the reader in the English
tongue; the other, the preparation of suitable introductions and notes
to the matter thus provided. Now in each of these departments two
courses were open to the editor: the one, to be original; the other,
to be a copyist. I need hardly say that of these the former offered
many temptations. But I could not fail to recognize the fact that such
a course would greatly take from the real value of the work, and
therefore without any hesitation I have adopted the other alternative,
and have endeavoured, so far as was at all possible, to keep myself out
of the question altogether; and as a general rule even the translation
of the text (as distinguished from the notes) is not mine but that of
some scholar of well-established reputation
