Codex Hierosolymitanus
The Codex Hierosolymitanus (abbreviation: "H"), also known as the Jerusalem Codex 54 or as Bryennios Manuscript , is a Greek collective manuscript from the 11th century. In the older literature it is also called Codex Konstantinopolitanus because it was in Constantinople at the time of its discovery . There it was probably also written by a Leo who is not known to us. He gave it the year 1056. The 120 parchment leaves have an octave format of approximately 19 cm × 15 cm. The text comprises approx. 23 lines per page in a column.
scope
The codex includes the Didache , the Letter of Barnabas , the two letters of Clement , the letter of Mary of Kassobola to Ignatius of Antioch , the long version of the letters of Ignatius and a list of the biblical books in the order in which John Chrysostom enumerates them.
Possession and safekeeping
The manuscript is located under number 54 in the library of the Monastery of the Holy Sepulcher near the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem , which is part of the Jerusalem Patriarchate . The script was probably part of the patriarchate library from the beginning.
Publications
The writing was found in Constantinople in 1873 by the theologian Philotheos Bryennios , who later became Metropolitan of Nicomedia. In 1875 he published the texts of the two letters to Clement. Adolf Hilgenfeld used the Codex Hierosolymitanus in 1877 for the first printed edition of the Didache, which was virtually unknown at the time.
