ABSTRACT
In the bull Constituti iuxta verbum that closed the Fifth Lateran Council on 16 March 1517, Leo X (1475–1521, pope 1513–21) provided a brief history of the council to demonstrate how it had accomplished the goals set for it and thus should be concluded. Leo ordered that everything decided in the earlier sessions and those things contained in published letters and whatever was executed in the three conciliar committees were to be implemented and observed. News of the proposed calendar reform produced a number of publications. Venetian printers made available some earlier works. The Sessa Press published in 1513 the Opusculum Sphaericum of John of Holywood together with the treatises of Johann Müller and Georg von Peuerbach. A number of issues were brought to the attention of the council but never made it to a formal vote of the fathers in a general congregation or session.
