Memoria Apostolorum One of the lost, noncanonical texts of the early centuries (before mid-fourth century), which appears to have been gnostic in its form and content (Schneemelcher, New Testament Apocrypha, 377). The Memoria Apostolorum apparently contains both erotic myth and an esoteric interpretation of the parable of the Sower (Matt 13:1–9, 18–23; Mark 4:1–9, 13–20; Luke 8:4–8, 11–15; Edwards, Mark, 128–129). It was never widely authoritative in the early church period.

The Memoria Apostolorum is known only from its disparaging mention in two fifth-century sources:

• a letter from Turribius of Astorga to Leo the Great

• the Commonitorium of Orosius

The lost Memoria Apostolorum is not to be confused with the Christian monument (built in the second century) of the same name, the present-day Catacombs of Saint Sebastian, where the apostles Peter and Paul were first venerated.
