What it decided

A Western synod held after the Council of Constantinople of 381, with Jerome present as Damasus' secretary. Tradition attributes to it a list of the canonical books of the Old and New Testaments (including the deuterocanonical books) preserved in the so-called Gelasian Decree, but that attribution is heavily disputed.

Convoked by
Pope Damasus I
