	CADRE Comments
		Mar Saba is a Greek Orthodox monastery located in a particularly desolate part of the Judean wilderness 9 miles east of Bethlehem and 12 miles south of Jerusalem.
		It was founded at the end of the 5th Century by St. Sabas and is reputed to be the oldest inhabited monastery in the Holy Land.
		The fact that Secret Mark came from Mar Saba is either strong proof of the text’s authenticity, in that nobody would have dared invent such a thin in the 1950s, or else it is a tribute to the unabashed chutzpah of a forger.

	The secret gospel of Mark.
		Carlson argues that, while the other Mar Saba manuscripts feature handwriting that is both fluent and natural, the Smith manuscript instead features evidence that the purportedly cursive strokes and letters were drawn, not written.
		And, if Carlson is correct that the Mar Saba manuscript is a hoax, then the joke might be that Morton Smith himself gets to supply in his related books what is lacking in the text, namely the true interpretation (and that which accords with the true philosophy) of his perfectly preserved gospel fragments.
		Seven years later, Smith would return from Mar Saba with photographs of a new text that describes, in terms that are sexually charged for the 20th century reader, a young man with a linen cloth over his naked body spending the night with Jesus and being taught the mystery of the kingdom of God.

		Thanks to some charitable work he had once done for the Orthodox Church, the monks of Mar Saba (who had once numbered several hundred but by 1958 had been reduced to a dozen) invited Smith to catalogue their library.
		In the library at Mar Saba, tucked into an ancient volume, Smith found -- or at least, maintained that he had found until his death in 1991 -- a letter by Clement of Alexandria, a second-century Church Father, to a fellow cleric named Theodorus, quoting from a "secret" Gospel of Mark.
		The plot turns on the discovery in the monastery of Mar Saba of a document (my father called it "the shred of Nicodemas") which, if genuine, would disprove the Gospel account of the resurrection.
