The most salient feature of the Didascalia is its exaltation of the authority of the Bishops ; yet it is noteworthy that there is no mention of the Bishops of Rome as superior over other Bishops. So far does the author go in the claim he makes for them, that M. Nau is impelled to introduce a foot-note to the passage at the foot of p. 51, to the effect that " it looks as if the author of the Didascalia had been a Bishop." Whether this were so or not, he had evidently forgotten our Lord's injunction to the Apostles : " It shall not be so among you." It is curious how the writers of this apocryphal literature loved to take Clement of Rome as their imagined author.
