The Canons of the Council of Carthage
The Council of Carthage
Read elsewhere
What it is
Rulings of a North African synod on clergy, discipline, and the books that may be read in church as divine scripture.
Why it lasted
One of the earliest conciliar lists of the biblical canon, and the one the Western church subsequently followed.
Where to read it
Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.
These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
