Important find: Sources for the Syllabus of Errors

Here's a post which I've just published at AQ:

While trying out the National Library of Australia's useful new "Trove" search service, I discovered perhaps the most valuable thing I've ever found on the web: A book collating all the Acts--Apostolic Letters, allocutions and so on--from which the errors condemned in Bl. Pius IX.'s Syllabus of Errors were excerpted. It is available here:

Here's a transcript of the title page:

MDCCCLXV.

Now all I have to do is learn Latin! Seriously though, if anyone who knows Latin were to translate some or all of these Acts into English he (or she) would be doing a great service to English-speaking Catholics. Even if he were just to translate the Acts from which the most controversial errors were excerpted he would be giving us something of great value. (And if anyone's interested in doing so, I'd be happy to provide modest assistance by tidying up the optical character recognition transcript available on-line.)
