Gospel of Matthias (Alexandria, 100-150 CE) Nothing from the Gospel of Matthias survives to us. The book is mentioned by Origen, Eusebius, Ambrose, Jerome, and the Venerable Bede. It also appears in two lists: the 6th century South Gallic list known as the Decretum Gelasianum, and the 7th-century Byzantine list known as The Catalogue of the Sixty Canonical Books. The Gospel 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 Traditions of Matthias. For discussion of this controversy see [Schneemelcher] v. 1 p. 385.
