Its list of New Testament Apocrypha is remarkable alike for omissions and insertions. It runs thus:
The Itinerary under the name of the apostle Peter which is called of Saint Clement, nine books.
( = the Clementine Recognitions: in ten books.)
Acts under the name of Andrew the apostle.
Acts under the name of Thomas the apostle.
Acts under the name of Peter the apostle.
Acts under the name of Philip the apostle.
(These will be found in their place in this collection.)
Gospel under the name of Matthias (see p. 12).
Gospel under the name of Barnabas.
(Both the above occur in the Greek list of the Sixty Books, but the existence of a Gospel of Barnabas is most doubtful. The extant book under that name (ed. Ragg, 1907) is in Italian, a forgery of the late fifteenth or sixteenth century, by a renegade from Christianity to Islam.)
Gospel under the name of James the Less.
(Probably the Protevangelium: but a lesson on the Circumcision of Christ (printed by Bannister in Journal of Theol. Studies, 1908, p. 417), in a fragment of a tenth-century service book in an Irish hand, is headed: Lesson of the Gospel according to James son of Alphaeus. It is hardly worth translating.)
Gospel under the name of Peter the Apostle (fragments exist).
Gospel under the name of Thomas which the Manichaeans use (extant).
Gospel under the name of Bartholomew (extant).
Gospels under the name of Andrew (non-existent: a confusion with the Acts).
Gospels which Lucianus falsified.
Gospels which Hesychius falsified.
(These are recensions of the text of the canonical gospels, of which we know little.)
Book concerning the Infancy of the Saviour (Pseudo-Matthew's Gospel).
Book concerning the birth of the Saviour, and Mary, or the midwife (the same as the last, or the Protevangelium).
The book called of the Shepherd (of Hermas).
All the books which Leucius the disciple of the devil made.
(Leucius is really the name attached to the Acts of John only; the entry is quite a vague one).
The book called the Foundation.
The book called the Treasure.
(Writings attributed to Manes, founder of the Manichaean sect.)
I omit, in what follows, the titles of Old Testament Apocrypha and patristic writings.
