Codex Hierosolymitanus (also called the Bryennios manuscript or the Jerusalem Codex , often designated simply " H " in scholarly discourse) is an 11th-century Greek manuscript. It contains copies of a number of early Christian texts including the only complete edition of the Didache . It was written by an otherwise unknown scribe named Leo, who dated it 1056.

The codex contains the Didache , the Epistle of Barnabas , the First Epistle of Clement and the Second Epistle of Clement , the long version of the letters of Ignatius of Antioch and a list of books of the Bible following the order of John Chrysostom .

It was discovered in 1873 by Philotheos Bryennios , the metropolitan of Nicomedia , in the collection of the Jerusalem Monastery of the Most Holy Sepulchre in Constantinople . He published the texts of the two familiar Epistles of Clement in 1875, overlooking the Didache , which he found when he returned to the manuscript.

Adolf Hilgenfeld used Codex Hierosolymitanus for his first printed edition of the previously almost unknown Didache in 1877.
