This book was first published in 1870 by Charles H. Hoole (d. 1901).

WE owe to the discovery of the Codex Sinaiticus the Greek text of the epistle of St. Barnabas.1 In that manuscript it comes at the end of the New Testament, between the Book of Revelation and the Shepherd of Hernias, with which the manuscript concludes, The heading is simply the Epistle of Barnabas, and the title is repeated at the end. Previous to the discovery of this manuscript, though a considerable portion of the Greek remained, chapters 1-4 were lost, and the epistle was known chiefly by an ancient Latin version, which is itself imperfect, the three concluding chapters being lost ; the portion which remained in Greek furnished only a very inferior text, and the epistle could not consequently be read in a state which would assure us that we had the work in the same shape as it presented in the Ante-Nicene period.
