Abstract

The Apostle list known as “Anonymous I” (BHG 153) is probably the first example of this kind of lists (as independent text). In 1907, Theodor Schermann published an anthology of Apostle lists, but, since he failed to recognize the Anonymous I as a list on its own right, this text did not find its way in his edition. The time has not yet come for a critical edition that would, beside the few known Greek manuscripts, also take into account the witness of the other Greek lists that stem form Anonymous I and of its ancient versions (in Latin and Geʻez) ; in the meanwhile, the present article takes stock of the Greek direct tradition : it presents the Greek manuscripts, studies their relationships, and sketches the development of the Greek textual forms. It includes the text of the Greek manuscripts in synoptical form. An Appendix deals with the list BHG 152n, which represents a combination of the Anonymous I and an abbreviated list of the Disciples from the Pseudo-Dorothean tradition.
