One of the most important documents of Church history, the text of a letter with an anathema against Patriarch Michael Ceirularius, put by the Latin ambassadors led by Cardinal Humbert on the altar of Saint Sophia of Constantinople on July 16, 1054, has been preserved in Latin and Greek versions. The article presents a new complete Russian translation of the famous letter, taking into account the Greek version, as well as an analysis of the discrepancies between the Latin and Greek texts
