 For centuries some Western Latin Bibles used to contain a small Epistle from Paul to the Laodiceans.The oldest known Bible copy of this epistle is in a Fulda manuscript written for Victor of Capua in 546.It is mentioned by various writers from the fourth century onwards, notably by Pope Gregory the Great, to whose influence may ultimately be due the frequent occurrence of it in Bibles written in England; for it is more common in English Bibles than in others.
