Discovery of the Essene Gospel of Peace
|
| An amazing
discovery was made in 1923. Edmond Bordeaux Szekely was able to discover
Essene documents in the secret archives of the Vatican. In his book The
Discovery of the Essene Gospel of Peace, he tells the
story of how two chess players helped him meet the renowned Msgr. Angelo
Mercati, Prefect of the Vatican Archives. He told the Prefect of his
desire to learn all he could of the Saint called Francis. He was allowed
to research the vast 25 miles of bookshelves containing scrolls,
parchments, paper manuscripts and codices. Within the labyrinth he found
an aramaic translation of The Essene Gospel of Peace as well as the The
Essene Book of Revelation.
His research led him to seek out the Benedictine monastary of Monte
Cassino. He was allowed, because of a letter Msgr. had written
granting access to the large vitrines in the Scriptorium. There he found
the original Hebrew codices of The Essene Gospel of Peace. from: http://reluctant-messenger.com/essene/index.html The book, The Discovery of the Essene Gospel of Peace, is available through the Essene Church of Peace. |
