- Title
Distortion of the Scribal Hand in the Images of Clement's Letter to Theodore.
- Authors
Viklund, Roger; Paananen, Timo S.
- Abstract
This article discusses Morton Smith's famous manuscript find, Clement's Letter to The-odore (including the so-called Secret Gospel of Mark), and critically assesses Stephen C. Carlson's study of its handwriting (2005). Carlson's analysis is found to be wanting due to line screen distortion introduced by the halftone reproduction process in the images he used. We conclude that the script in the manuscript of Clement's Letter to Theodore lacks all and any kind of "signs of forgery".
