Re: Agamemnon Tselikas’ Handwriting Analysis Report Did Morton Smith Forge "Secret Mark"?

In my opinion the conversation went like this: QQ brings up the gay Jesus and Smith being gay. Flusser knows that people said this about him at Columbia. But also Flusser knows "a woman who almost married Smith, but whom Smith finally refused to marry on the grounds that he - then a Protestant ...

Re: Agamemnon Tselikas’ Handwriting Analysis Report Did Morton Smith Forge "Secret Mark"?

But this statement from BAR was the underlying context (which I linked to above): As for his homosexuality, I think he was just spoofing the trend that had begun back in the 1960s and 1970s to find gays in all the great Biblical literature. As for himself, I suspect that he was just an Anglican cler...

Re: Agamemnon Tselikas’ Handwriting Analysis Report Did Morton Smith Forge "Secret Mark"?

The most interesting notes come from the last day: He has agreed to go with me out to the Mar Saba monastery. He is convinced there is another secret door there which will lead to a cache of manuscripts like the door & mss they found in 1887. Not that we can hunt for that this time. One would ha...

Re: Agamemnon Tselikas’ Handwriting Analysis Report Did Morton Smith Forge "Secret Mark"?

When Goranson was asking me to explain my claim in another thread that the monks at Mar Saba thought the book belonged to them and took it as their property. This partially explained from the quote in the Smith Landau book. But it is also from Quesnell's "diary": Oh yes, Flusser was one of...

Re: Agamemnon Tselikas’ Handwriting Analysis Report Did Morton Smith Forge "Secret Mark"?

For those following along at home: Delighted to find p. 11 of volume with its “practice” letters. And to find the suspicious [illegible word], breaks & irregularities in great number typical of forgeries. This is also photographed by Tselikas: https://www.biblicalarchaeology.org/wp-content/uploa...

Re: Agamemnon Tselikas’ Handwriting Analysis Report Did Morton Smith Forge "Secret Mark"?

Morton Smith had more Jewish girlfriends than I did. The only Jewish girl I ever dated was Michele who I picked up at the Copacabana in Toronto in Yorkville. She was a dental assistant and I swear gave me my only cavity filling on purpose.

Re: Agamemnon Tselikas’ Handwriting Analysis Report Did Morton Smith Forge "Secret Mark"?

This must be the reference: " And he knows a woman who almost married Smith, but whom Smith finally refused to marry on the grounds that he - then a Protestant - could not marry a Catholic. Was this a cover-up? (All thru Flusser played Fr Brown looking for deeper psychological motivations). Que...

Re: Agamemnon Tselikas’ Handwriting Analysis Report Did Morton Smith Forge "Secret Mark"?

This is starting to make more sense. Here's one of my attempts to transcribe Quesnell's notes from the trip: Second [written above the word 'First' which is crossed out] Day: Thursday June 2 A.M saw sec'y of [two scribbles] Chief Secretary who sends to librarian: says it is up to him Librarian (Char...

Re: Agamemnon Tselikas’ Handwriting Analysis Report Did Morton Smith Forge "Secret Mark"?

I never noticed this in the BAR letters to the editor page: https://library.biblicalarchaeology.org/department/queries-comments-203/ The thing about Flusser saying that Morton Smith had a Jewish girlfriend. This isn't made up! In the Smith archives Flusser has this stupid exchange with Quesnell that...

Re: Agamemnon Tselikas’ Handwriting Analysis Report Did Morton Smith Forge "Secret Mark"?

The facts still remain that at least I did better than Ariel Sabar in terms of coming up with two girlfriends for Morton Smith. Miriam Chesterman at the time he was visiting Mar Saba as attested by Miriam's daughter Ethne https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/boca-raton-fl/ethne-chesterman-1020...
