Acta et documenta concilio oecumenico Vaticano ii apparando. Series II, Praeparatoria by cura et studio Secretariae Pontificiae Commissionis Centralis Praeparatoriae Concilii Vaticani II. Civitas Vaticana : Typis Polyglottis Vaticanis, 1964-1969. 3 volumes in 7 parts
On Pentecost 1960 Pope John XXIII announced the structure of the preparatory period which would consist of 10 commissions who were charged to draw up texts for consideration by the Council fathers. Each commission was headed by a Curia cardinal and assisted by a secretary who was usually a Curial staffer as well. The other members consisted of theologians and ecclesiastics. The Commission produced 75 texts of which 22 were presented for conciliar discussion. Again, these volumes are rather scarce and not held by the library although volume one of A History of Vatican II edited by Guiseppe Albergio provides a detailed description and analysis of the perparatory period.
