The ^ASynod of Pistoia and Vatican II is written by Shaun Blanchard and published by Oxford University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0190947810 (ISBN 10) and 9780190947811 (ISBN 13).

In this book, Shaun Blanchard uses a close study of the Synod of Pistoia (1786) to argue that the roots of the Vatican II reforms must be pushed back beyond the widely acknowledged twentieth-century forerunners of the Council, beyond Newman and the Tübingen School in the nineteenth century, to the eighteenth century, in which a variety of reform movements attempted ressourcement and aggiornamento.
