He is a collaborator on the December, 1875. In 1877 he was transferred to Erlangen and on the Weimar editions of Luther's the metropolitan see of Nicomedia. In 1880 he works.

Greek monasteries in Moldavia and Wallachia. In 1882, as instructed by the Holy Synod of metropolitans in Constantinople, and the Patriarch Joachim III., he wrote a reply to the encyclical | letter of Pope Leo XIII. concerning Cyrillus and Methodius, the Apostles to the Slaves, which was published, with the approbation and at the expense of the Holy Synod, in Constantinople. His fame in the West rests upon his discovery in 1873 of the Jerusalem Manuscript, so called because found in the Jerusalem Monastery of the Most Holy Sepulchre in the Phanar, or Greek portion of Constantinople. This MS. of two hundred and forty small octavo pages contains (1) A Synopsis of the Old and New Testaments in the order of Books by St. Chrysostom; (2) The Epistle of Barnabas; (3) The First Epistle of Clement of Rome to the Corinthians; (4) The Second Epistle of Clement to the Corinthians; (5) The Teaching of the Twelve Apostles; (6) The spurious letter of Mary of Cassoboli; (7) Twelve pseudo-Ignatian Epistles. The Epistles to the Corinthians were published by him with prolegomena and notes in Constantinople, 1875, and at once attracted the attention of scholars, because the text was for the first time entire. "The Teaching of the Twelve Apostles," which Bryennios himself did not at first rightly estimate, is of still greater value both for its age and its contents, being no less than a catechetical church manual from the postapostolic age. Having discovered its unique importance in 1878, he set to work to prepare a suitable edition of it; and being an erudite patristic scholar he produced it in Constantinople, 1883, with ample notes and prolegomena in Greek. His edition is the basis of the rich literature on the Didache which has grown up in a short time. See his autobiography which he prepared for Schaff's work on the Didache, New York, 1885, rev. ed. 1886, pp. 289–296.
