   Is this the original formulation of Athanasius?  If I read it correctly,
   it seems to say that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son,
   the traditional Western position.  How does this impact on the long-standing
   (and IMHO not terribly important*) Filioque debate?

As someone already noted, the so-called Athanasian creed isn't by St.
Athanasius.

There are a number of citations in the Catholic Encyclopedia regarding
the Filioque and the Fathers of the Church.  St. Athanasius is one of
the Eastern Fathers cited in support of the doctrine.
