So far the only hint in the early years is James Donaldson, although the scholars today say there was more.

James Donaldson (1877)

p. 36-37
We have given nearly all the information in regard to this
manuscript which Bryennius has vouchsafed to impart to us.
He does not say anything of the history of the Library or of
the manuscript. He supplies us with no external testimony
to its antiquity. He mentions the fact that he was aided in
the collation by his illustrious friend, the Metropolitan of
Korytzas, Dorotheus Evelpis. We have to trust entirely to the
honour of these two Greek clergymen for the fact that a really
genuine manuscript has been found, and to internal evidence.
We cannot think that this is an entirely satisfactory method
of procedure. When a manuscript is discovered, all the exter-
nal testimony that can be adduced should be adduced. In
this particular case we are met with a puzzling circumstance.
Gebhardt and Harnack state that a catalogue of this Library
was prepared by Bethmann in 1815, and exists in Pertz’s
Archiv, but no mention is made of our Codex. Was it in the
Library then ? Still more unsatisfactory is the absence of
such external testimony when so important a Codex as the
Sinaiticus is concerned.

The Didache (Annotated Edition) (2012)

It contains, besides the first and second Epistles of Clement, a complete text of the longer recension of Ignatius, "The Epistle of Barnabas," "The Synopsis of St. Chrysostom," and "The Teaching of the Apostles," which comes between the Clement and Ignatius.
After a good deal of consideration, I have come to the conclusion that the Didache is not an original work, but a compilation or series of excerpts from the treatises already quoted. Any one who will compare the Didache of Bryennius with the passages taken from Barnabas, Hermas, the Judicium Petri, and the Apostolic Constitutions, will find it difficult to avoid the conclusion that the author of the Didache had these works in his hands, and compiled from them what he supposed to be the primitive doctrine of the Apostles; and the position of his work is not that of an original to an enlarged and completed copy, but that of a condensation and compilation from a number of other works. There seems some reason

and that the Didache discovered by Bryennius, which was no doubt the
same as that mentioned by Nicephorus in the ninth century, was a

Moses Wilhelm Shapira’s Forgotten Scroll of Jeremiah
By Matthew Hamilton1
26 November 2023
https://www.academia.edu/109819157/Moses_Wilhelm_Shapiras_Forgotten_Scroll_of_Jeremiah

1 Independent researcher, Sydney, Australia. Thanks are given to Chris Phillips, English genealogist, for making available his extensive research into Colonel Campbell, the last known owner of the scroll of Jeremiah.

1869:

Durch einen Geschäftsfreund im Orient erhielt ich im vorigen Jahre zwei alterthümliche Thora-Rollen, aus Arabien und Palästina stammend, die sowohl wegen ihres hohen Alters, als auch wegen ihrer eigenthümlichen von den gewöhnlichen Gesetzesrollen abweichenden Beschaffenheit das höchste Interesse beanspruchen und für die bibl. Textkritik nicht ohne Belang sind. Beide Rollen dürften zu dem ältesten Handschriften des Pentateuch zählen, welche wir in Europa besitzen.1


1 Baer, Seligmann, 1870. התורה על עורות מאדמים Zwei alte Thora-Rollen aus Arabien und Palästina, Frankfurt: Johannes Alt, 3. On page 16 Johannes Alt noted “Ferner habe ich folgende Manuscripte” regarding an additional eight manuscripts for sale, however it is not clear which of these Alt may have sourced from Shapira. Indications these and other manuscripts with Alt were sourced from Shapira may be found in publications such as Baer, Seligmann, and Delitzsch, Franz, 1872. ספר ישעיה‎ Liber Jesaiae, Lipsiae: Ex Officina Bernhardi Tauchnitz, vi, where Delitzsch noted “Atque adeo contigit potiri duorum Codicum, qui nuper ex oriente advecti sunt. Horum duorum Codicum, quos in adnotationibus criticis saepenumero citavimus, primum Hierosolymitanum nuncupavimus, nam SCHAPIRA Hierosolymitanus, sedulus ille Codicum conquisitor, eum Joanni Altio Francofurtensi vendendum tradidit, qui quidem BAERIUM rogavit, ut exploratum breviter describeret.” A study of the manuscripts Shapira sold via Alt is currently underway.
