1 Anastasins in his Interpretatio (Migne, Pat.. Lat. Tom. CXXIX., col. 458), gives the word, "Filioque". Cardinal Julian in the Fifth Session of the Concil of Florence gave evidence that there was then extant a very ancient codex containing these words; and this ms., which was in Greek, was actually shown.

Councils, Vol ., p. 374,Note 2.) This reasoning is not conclusive if Cardinal Bellarmine is to be believed, who says that St. Thomas had never seen the Acts of this synod. (De Imag. Sanct., Lib. ii., cap. xxii.)
