Gelasian Decree
The Gelasian Decree (Decretum Gelasianum in Latin) is a late 5th century decretal of Pope Gelasius I which briefly discusses Christ and the Holy Spirit and their interrelation; more significantly, it lists out the canonical books of the Holy Bible followed by a list of spurious and rejected works. It is based on a possibly older Damasine List from the 4th century.
