Antiquarians eye Constantinople manuscripts in palace library cellars
In London a report details plans by antiquarians and Sir Edwin Pears to study manuscripts hidden in the Byzantine palaces near Constantinople. Many works in Arabic and Greek lie uncatalogued, some likely lost or damaged by neglect, while scholars hope to uncover epistles of St. Clement and other early Christian texts. The effort includes Mt. Athos and St. Sophia holdings, with experts warning most valuable items may be misplaced or stolen.
