The circa 1050AD Pontifical of Salzburg contains the service for the Making of Catechumens. Within the service, the Symbol of Faith, or Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed, is appointed to be given in both Greek and Latin.
The Greek is written in Latin letters; of noticeable import would be the section concerning the Holy Ghost in the Creed, which reads:
Which, in English, would be:
"And in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Life-Giver, from the Father Proceeding, with the Father and the Son together worshipped and glorified."
When the Symbol is repeated in Latin on the next page, it has the notorious interpolation of "Filioque" in the section concerning the Procession.
There does seem to have been a desire in areas when the Symbol was being interpolated in Latin, to retain the uncorrupted text in Greek, however.
