Traditions of Matthias (Alexandria, 100-150 CE)

The Traditions of Matthias survives today only in fragments as quotations from Clement. These quotations, except for the second, have no marked gnostic character.

The Traditions of Matthias was probably written in the 1st half of the 2nd century in Alexandria, or at any rate in Egypt. It may be the same as the Gospel of Matthias. For discussion of this controversy see [Schneemelcher] v. 1 p. 385.
