Quote:Although the peer-reviewed paper will now be published in the academic journal and was uploaded to a Harvard website on Thursday, the criticism is likely to continue. For one, the journal will also run an article by Brown University Egyptology professor Leo Depuydt, who says the fragment is a fake. In the paper, published online Thursday, Depuydt points to grammatical mistakes that he says a native Coptic writer would not make, as well as similarities to another well-known non-canonical biblical text.
"There is no doubt in my mind whatsoever that the text … is a patchwork of words and phrases from the published and well-known Coptic Gospel of Thomas," Depuydt writes. "It is therefore clear that the Text is not an independent literary composition at all."
More Da Vinci Code stuff in my mind from the same source.
