Vercelli, Council Of (Conciliun Vercellense)

Vercelli is a city of Italy, in Piedmont, province of Novara. An ecclesiastical council was held here in September, 1050, by pope Leo IX. Bishops attended from various nations. Berenger was cited to appear, but refused to attend. His errors were condemned, and the book of John Scotus upon the eucharist was burned. See Lanfranc, De Corp. Dom. lib. 4; Mansi, Concil. 9:1055,
