HOLLIS 'Opus Caroli regis contra synodum' returns fourteen records and not one is an English translation: the Monumenta Germaniae Historica Concilia edition of 1998 (Latin with a German introduction), Bastgen's 1924 MGH edition, a 2025 Brepols Latin edition, French and German studies (Mitalaite 2007; Speck 1998; Dahlhaus-Berg 1975), and two English books that discuss it, Ann Freeman's Variorum collection Theodulf of Orleans: Charlemagne's Spokesman against the Second Council of Nicaea (2003) and Thomas Noble's Images, Iconoclasm, and the Carolingians (2009). The query 'Libri Carolini English translation' returns a single unrelated volume on Carolingian learning. No published English rendering of the treatise was located; Bastgen's Latin text is on archive.org for anyone who wants to begin one.
The Libri Carolini are the West's first sustained treatise on religious images and the founding document of Carolingian objection to both Byzantine iconoclasm and papal image doctrine; four books of it have never been put into English. English accounts of the iconoclast controversy therefore summarise a text their readers cannot check, and the Frankish position is usually reduced to a caricature of 'images are neither to be venerated nor destroyed'.
