[627] Pope Innocent I. flatly denies that any apostle had founded the Church of Spain. Epist. ad Decentium, 25, c. 2: “Aut legant, si in his provinciis alius apostolorum invenitur, etc.” Migne, Patr. Lat., xx. 552.

[632] Morcelli, i. 168. He can only produce as evidence the Calendars of Reichenau and Rheinau, but they are sufficient for his purpose.
[633] The Hieronymianum at least says so on the 27th December: “Adsumptio S. Johannis Evangelistæ apud Ephesum et ordinatio episcopatus S. Jacobi fratris Domini qui ab apostolis primus ex Judaeis Hierosolymis episcopus est ordinatus.”

[635] So the Chronographer of 354. The Hieronymianum in its oldest recension (Weissenburg) has the entry: “In Africa natalis S. Philippi Apostoli, Jacobi, Quintiani, etc.” The recensions of Echternach and Metz have: “Natalis SS. Apostolorum Philippi et Jacobi,” and the incorrect addition in Africa is transferred to another place.
