Re: naked or nakeds in the "Letter to Theodore"
Thank you, Andrew. We agree that "the singular is more likely in context than the plural." As for interpreting "the question whether the letter looks more like an iota or a sigma," I can add one thing. It may or may not be relevant. But, I think, it has not yet been mentioned her...

..of "Secret Mark." There have been numerous quite helpful comments (and non-helpful ones). Ariel Sabar's Atlantic article is good on biography but not so much on the text. All evidence, including those items in the JTS archives, would need to be assessed. Who, for instance, has compared a...

Re: 1715 Clement edition
Thank you, Adam.
As to the suggestion that MS intended to publish that 1958 "Manufactured" document,
which was never published in that form till his death, nor now,
according to its Preface, it was to prevent others from publishing.

Did John know Mark?
Did John know Mark? Morton Smith, for what it's worth, in his unpublished 1960 text, claimed that "Secret Mark" was "shaped by deliberate imitation of canonical Mk." [[hm., by whom? and not Secret Mark first, then censored]] "but based in part on an earlier Aramaic gospel of...

Evidence for different forgeries may vary
Given: there are many different views on "Letter to Theodore." In this case we have photos of three pages, transcriptions, translations, and a huge secondary literature. We also have much by and about Morton Smith. Among others, Ariel Sabar in The Atlantic (magazine), April, 2024. Some thi...

Philodemus, new text on Plato?
Texts of Plato and Aristotle have been relatively well transmitted. But a reported recently-read text from Herculaneum may give more information on Plato, though I am not qualified to certify it, nor the opinion expressed by Philodemus. "More sections of Philodemus’ history of the philosophers ...

Re: naked or nakeds in the "Letter to Theodore"
Singular or plural? Here is Smith's translation from Secret Gospel (1973) page 17: "....But "naked [man] with naked [man]" and the other things about which you wrote are not found." In the Clement book (1973) page 447: "...But "naked man with naked man," ..." ...

Re: 1715 Clement edition
Mar Saba had books and manuscripts long, long before 1887, when "multiple ones"--which may mean duplicate copies--were sent. (added: sent from Jerusalem to Mar Saba.) I don't endorse your presuming vis-a-vis me. Smith's announced reason for going there in 1958 was to catalog books. (added:...

Re: Was Morton Smith sometimes an unreliable narrator?
I thought the "joke" was better known. That's why I didn't write it out it full, at first. Anyway, it's easily googleable. I brought it up in part as an example of his "humor," as I already said. One, could, if interested, see when it became well known. Post 1941, so revisionist,...
