| • | The Didache ( in Koine Greek) or "Teaching"— short for "Teaching of the Lord to the Gentiles by the Twelve Apostles" ()— is a short treatise, considered by some of the Church Fathers as part of the New Testament but rejected as spurious by others and in the outcome, not accepted into the with the exception of the Ethiopian Orthodox 81 book Canon. Considered lost, it was rediscovered in 1883 by Philotheos Bryennios, Greek Orthodox metropolitan of Nicomedia, in a codex written in 1053, from which he had already published in 1875 the full text of the Epistles of Clement. It has been accepted as part of the collection of Apostolic Fathers, the only rediscovered Christian text during the last 150 of discoveries in libraries or in papyri to receive wide acceptance. Shortly after Bryennios' initial publication, the scholar O. von Gebhardt identified a Latin manuscript in the Abbey of Melk in Austria as containing a translation of the first part of the Didache.; later scholars now believe that to be an independent witness to the tradition of the "Two Ways" section (see below). Dr. J. Schlecht found in 1900 another Latin translation of chapters 1 through 5, with the longer title, omitting "twelve", and has a rubric De doctrina Apostolorum. Coptic and Ethiopian translations have also been discovered since Bryennios' original publication. The Didache is mentioned by Eusebius after the books recognized as canonical (Historia Ecclesiastica III, 25): "Let there be placed among the spurious works the Acts of Paul, the so-called Shepherd and the Apocalypse of Peter, and besides these the Epistle of Barnabas, and what are called the Teachings of the Apostles, and also the Apocalypse of John, if this be thought proper; for as I wrote before, some reject it, and others place it in the canon." Athanasius and Rufinus list the "Didache" as Deuterocanonical. (Rufinus gives the curious alternative title Judicium PetriSource: [wikipedia: didache] |
