Topic: Philotheos Bryennios


  
  Ante-Nicene Fathers, Vol. VII
In 1873 Philotheos Bryennios, then Head Master of the higher Greek school at Constantinople, but now Metropolitan of Nicomedia, discovered a remarkable collection of manuscripts in the library of the Jerusalem Monastery of the Most Holy Sepulchre at Constantinople.
In 1875 Bryennios, who had been chosen Metropolitan of Serrae during his absence at the Old Catholic conference in Bonn, published at Constantinople the two Epistles of Clement, with prolegomena and notes; giving the text found in the Jerusalem Codex, as he termed it.
Bryennios and Harnack assign, as the date, between 120 and 160; Hilgenfeld, 160 and 190; English and American scholars vary between A.D. 80 and 120.

 Didache - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is the only rediscovered Christian text during the last 150 years of discoveries in libraries or in papyri to receive wide acceptance by the Catholic and Orthodox Churches.
Considered lost, the Didache was rediscovered in 1883 by Philotheos Bryennios, a Greek Orthodox metropolitan bishop of Nicomedia, in the Greek Codex Hierosolymitanus written in 1053, from which he had already published the full text of the Epistles of Clement in 1875.
Shortly after Bryennios' initial publication, the scholar Otto 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).

It was probably written in Syria during the 1st century, although some critics have estimated a later date of composition.
The document was unknown until its discovery in 1873 and its publication in 1883 by Philotheos Bryennios (1833–1914), Greek metropolitan of Nicomedia.
The Didache is a compendium of moral precepts, of instructions on the organization of Christian communities and of regulations pertaining to liturgical worship.

 Introduction @ didache.us   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The modern history of the Didache began in 1873 with a landmark discovery by Philotheos Bryennios, a Greek Orthodox priest and scholar.
In a monastery belonging to the Jerusalem Patriarchate, Bryennios came across a small codex of Greek documents related to the early church.
The Bryennios codex, conventionally referred to as "H," bears a colophon that identifies its scribe and its date: "Finished in [the] month of June … of [the] year 6564, by [the] hand of Leon, notary and sinner.” By modern reckoning, this would date the completion of the codex to 1056 CE.

Considering that the official distinction between bishops and presbyters was not yet clearly defined in his time, he may have been co-presbyter with Linus and Anacletus, who are represented by some as his predecessors, by others as his successors.
Bryennios discusses this question at length in his Prolegomena, and comes to the conclusion that Clement was the third bishop of Rome, and the author of both Epistles to the Corinthians.
The later date (93-97) is assIgned to the Epistle by Cotelier, Tillemont, Lardner, Möhler, Schliemann, Bunsen, Ritschl, Lipsius, Hilgenfeld, Donaldson, Bryennios, Harnack, Uhlhorn, Lightfoot (who puts the letter soon after the martyrdom of Flavius Clement, a.d.

 The Didache
The Didache was first published in 1883, following its discovery by Philotheos Bryennios, the metropolitan of Nicomedia, in the 11th century manuscript, Codex Hierosolymitanus 1056.
Upon its publication, it was quickly observed that large parts of the work had previously been extant as quotations within other works, but had not been recognized for what they were.
Since Bryennios' discovery of the complete text, numerous other finds have been made of fragmentary texts and translations of the Didache, and of a complete translation in Georgian.

 The Didache - ReligionFacts
The Didache, or Doctrine of the Twelve Apostles, has long been known to exist due to quotes and references found in the writings of church fathers including Pseudo-Barnabas, Clement of Alexandria, Origen, the Apostolic Constitutions, Eusebius and Athanasius.
However, the exact contents of the Didache were unknown until 1873, when manuscripts of the Didache and other early Christian documents were discovered by Philotheos Bryennios, Orthodox metropolitan of Nicomedia, in a monastery at Constantinople.
This Didache manuscript dates to 1056 AD, but comparison with earlier quotations of the work have demonstrated the accuracy of the surviving copy.

 The Didache's Discovery   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
A product of this new enthusiasm was the creation of an archival collection of early texts by Leon 'scribe and sinner' in 1056 AD.
This collection, hidden in a dingy library in Constantinople, was then rediscovered by Archbishop Philotheos Bryennios in 1873.
This was an astonishingly important find, in that the Didache promised to reveal otherwise unknown details of the beliefs and practices of the very early Church.
