===Pelagian manuscripts=== During the Middle Ages, Pelagius' writings were popular but usually attributed to other authors, especially Augustine and Jerome.{{sfn|Bonner|2018|pp=288β289}} Pelagius' ''Commentary on Romans'' circulated under two pseudonymous versions, "Pseudo-Jerome" (copied before 432) and "Pseudo-Primasius", revised by [[Cassiodorus]] in the sixth century to remove the "Pelagian errors" that Cassiodorus found in it. During the Middle Ages, it passed as a work by Jerome.{{sfn|Scheck|2012|pp=91β92}} [[Erasmus of Rotterdam]] printed the commentary in 1516, in a volume of works by Jerome. Erasmus recognized that the work was not really Jerome's, writing that he did not know who the author was. Erasmus admired the commentary because it followed the consensus interpretation of Paul in the Greek tradition.{{sfn|Scheck|2012|p=92}} The nineteenth-century theologian [[Jacques Paul Migne]] suspected that Pelagius was the author, and [[William Ince (theologian)|William Ince]] recognized Pelagius' authorship as early as 1887. The original version of the commentary was found and published by [[Alexander Souter]] in 1926.{{sfn|Scheck|2012|p=92}} According to French scholar {{ill|Yves-Marie Duval|fr}}, the Pelagian treatise ''On the Christian Life'' was the second-most copied work during the Middle Ages (behind Augustine's ''[[The City of God]]'') outside of the Bible and liturgical texts.{{sfn|Bonner|2018|pp=288β289}}{{efn|At the Council of Diospolis, ''On the Christian Life'' was submitted as an example of Pelagius' heretical writings. Scholar [[Robert F. Evans]] argues that it was Pelagius' work, but Ali Bonner disagrees.{{sfn|Bonner|2018|loc=Chapter 7, fn 1}}|name=On the Christian Life}}
