Haydock's commentary
Judas. This seems to be the Essene, who with others wrote this epistle; (chap. i. 10.; Worthington) or rather (Haydock) the Machabee, who was as solicitous to preserve the sacred books as Antiochus was to destroy them, 1 Machabees i. 59., and ii. 48. It is said that another assembly met to admit such books into the canon as had been written since the days of Nehemias.
