Council of Frankfurt

"[4] The participants in the Frankfurt synod included, among others, Paulinus II the Patriarch of Aquileia, Peter, Archbishop of Milan, the Benedictine Abbot Benedict of Aniane, the Abbot Smaragdus of Saint-Mihiel, as well as many bishops of England, Gaul, Aquitaine, the Spanish March, the County of Roussillon, and the lower Languedoc.

[5] The French church historian Émile Amann counts the Council of Frankfurt among the "crucial synods of the whole church"[6] The topics and items of discussion at the Council of Frankfurt were gathered together in 56 chapters, covering a number of points of varying theological, political and legal significance.

In the capitulary summarising the conclusions of the Council of Frankfurt, the rejection of image worship was formulated as "complete" and "unanimous".

[7][12] The rulings of the Council of 794 were compiled by hand and published in the form of a capitulary written in Medieval Latin.

They are written in Carolingian minuscule, the script which was developed at the end of the eighth century and in use in the time of Charlemagne.
