BARNABAS, Epistle of, an apocryphal work ascribed to Barnabas, and frequently cited by Clement of Alexandria and by Origen. It was first published in Greek, from a copy of Father Hugo Ménard, a Benedictine monk. An ancient version of it, nearly a thousand years old, was found in a manuscript of the abbey of Corbey. Vossius published it in the year 1646, together with the epistles of St Ignatius; and it has been several times reprinted.
