section 2.—publication of the discovered works: the effect.
In 1875
Bryennios
, who had been chosen Metropolitan of Serræ 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. All patristic scholars welcomed his work, which bore every mark of care and learning; showing the results of his contact, as a student, with German methods. Bishop
Lightfoot
and many others at once made use of this new material. The remaining contents of the Codex were named in the volume of
Bryennios
, and some interest awakened by the mention of the
Teaching
. The learned Metropolitan furnished new readings from other parts of the Codex to German scholars. At the close of 1883 he published in Constantinople the text of the
Teaching
, with prolegomena and notes. A copy of the volume was received in Germany in January, 1884; was translated into German, and published Feb. 3, 1884; translated from German into English, and published in
America, Feb. 28, 1884; Archdeacon
Farrar
published (
Contemporary Review
) a version from the Greek in May, 1884. Before the close of the year the literature on the subject, exclusive of newspaper articles, covered fifty titles (given by
Schaff
) in Western Europe and America.
