Mar Saba letter
The ''Mar Saba Letter'' is a Greek document which scholar Morton Smith in 1973 reported that he had discovered 15 years earlier in the library of the Mar Saba monastery, and which now survives only as photographs. The text purports to be an epistle of Clement of Alexandria and contains the only known references to a "Secret Gospel of Mark".
==Discovery and disappearance==
In 1973 Morton Smith published a book on a previously unknown letter of Clement of Alexandria.〔Morton Smith, ''Clement of Alexandria and a Secret Gospel of Mark'' (Harvard University Press) 1973〕 He stated that, while cataloging documents at the ancient monastery of Mar Saba in the summer 1958, he discovered the text of the letter handwritten into the endpapers of Isaac Vossius' 1646 printed edition of the works of Ignatius of Antioch. This letter is consequently referred to as the Mar Saba letter of Clement of Alexandria. Smith also published a second book for the popular audience in 1974.〔Morton Smith, ''The Secret Gospel: The Discovery and Interpretation of the Secret Gospel According to Mark'', London Victor Gollancz Ltd. 1974 ISBN 0-575-01801-1.〕
Smith's books reproduced black-and-white photographs which he stated he had taken at the time of the discovery. In 1976 a group of four scholars〔Professors David Flusser and Shlomo Pines, both of the Hebrew University, Jerusalem, Archimandrite Meliton of the Patriarchate, and G.A.G. Stroumsa, at the time a Harvard graduate student.〕 visited Mar Saba, and viewed the manuscript. This visit remained unknown until 2003 when one of the party, G.A.G. Stroumsa, published an account of the visit.〔Gedaliahu A. G. Stroumsa, "Comments on Charles Hedrick's article: a testimony", ''Journal of Early Christian Studies'' 11.2 (Summer 2003), pp 147-53.〕 In 1977 the volume containing the manuscript was taken to the library of the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate in Jerusalem. That same year, the manuscript pages were removed from the bound volume by the librarian Kallistos Dourvas, to be photographed and kept separately. These photographs were published in 2000. Subsequent attempts by scholars to view the manuscript have been unsuccessful. Paleographers, working from Smith's photographs, have assigned dates from the late seventeenth to the early nineteenth centuries.〔Merkel, Helmut. ''Auf den Spuren des Urmarkus?
