We find.bere 3, 4, 5,
6, 25, 26, 27 of our pre-
sent Creed.
Of the preceding documents, the first is taken from a
manuscript at Yienna, considered to be not later than of
the twelfth century. At one time it belonged to Don
Eodrigo, by the grace of God King (?) of Castille, Toledo,
Leon, Galicia, &c. &c. It is entitled, in a hand which I
should say was contemporaneous with the MS., /S. Augus-
tini, and commences with this Father's sermon, de decern
chordis (Augus., Benedic. y. 48) : then it has parts of the
Pseudo-Augustine sermons de die judicii and quales dehent
esse christiani (said to be the same as in Appendix, Nos.
XXXIV. and ccLxvi.), then an article de fide catliolica, which
I hope to print ere long. (We meet here with the words

Fides Gatholica hcBc est veneremur, but no other part of

the Athanasian Creed.) Then comes in the middle of the
second column De duodecim ahusionibus, out of which the
Pseudo-Augustine treatise (vol vi. App. p. 206) has been
developed. (This is curious, for we know from Flodoard
that Hincmar wrote a book under this title.) This again is
followed on folio 19 by the passage I have given above. It

concludes with a deeply interesting account of a possible
address of the Saviour and others on the day of judgment;
and after this comes something headed Augustinus de de-
cimis servitoribus ecclesice reddendis. It is quite clear that
the MS. contains a collection of documents of far more ancient
date than the twelfth century : and amongst these documents
was this complete and continuous teaching on the Trinity,
which is now incorporated in the Athanasian Creed in an
enlarged form.
