Hermas
The Shepherd
Ante-Nicene Fathers, 1885
What this is
Visions, commandments and parables given to a freed slave in Rome by an angel dressed as a shepherd, written in the first half of the second century. Some early Christians counted it as scripture: Irenaeus quotes it as such, and the Codex Sinaiticus bound it in after the New Testament.
How it is set
One leaf per book, with the sections numbered inside it as Long numbers them. A section of Marcus is often three lines, and a page holding three lines is not a page.
What is not here
Notes. These books have the text and nothing else at present — no map, no lives, no commentary. The Gospel of St Luke shows what an annotated book looks like on this shelf, and these will follow it. An empty heading is better than invented filler.
