"In the end, in the fourth edition, I wrote what is in the Latin version, from a sole Greek manuscript that came from England, but a recent one, although the Greek manuscript in the Vatican has what was in mine. It is known that some Greek manuscripts were amended from the reading of the Latin manuscripts after an accord was reached between the Eastern Churches and Rome." Ep. 1877. CWE, Correspondence v 13:333.
