GOSPEL OP BARNABAS

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 409 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GOA-GRA
GOSPEL OP BARNABAS .We read in antiquity, e.g. in the Decretum Gelasii, of an apocryphal Gospel of Barnabas (see APOCRYPHAL LITERATURE), but we have no knowledge of its contents. There exists, however, in a single MS. in Italian a longish gospel with this title, written from a
Mahommedan
  standpoint, but probably embodying materials partly Gnostic in character and origin. The Italian MS. was found by the Deist, John Toland, in a private collection at
Amsterdam
  (see his Nazarenus, 1718) ; subsequently it came into the possession of Prince
Eugene
  of Savoy, and finally was obtained with
Eugene
 's library by the imperial library at Vienna. It has been edited, with an
English
 
translation
  (1907) by (Rev.)
Lonsdale
  and Laura Ragg, who hold that it was the
work
  of a Christian renegade to Mahommedanism about the 13th-16th
century
 . See also preliminary notice in the
Journal
  of Theol. Studies, vi. 424 if. The old view held by Toland and others that the Italian was a
translation
  from the Arabic is demonstrably wrong. The Arabic marginal notes are apparently partly pious ejaculations, partly notes for the aid of Arabic students. The
work
  is highly imaginative and often grotesque, but it is pervaded by an unusually high ethical enthusiasm. (J. V. B.)
