PART OF THE GOSPEL OF JUDAS
is stored in a bank vault in Akron, Ohio, according to News Channel 5:
R. Scott Haley is the keeper of antiquity. As an attorney, he's recently been appointed to catalog some ancient possessions of a Summit County art collector who has fallen on hard financial times.
Part of the collection that is caught in the middle of an ownership squabble is the Gospel according to Judas.
"This is how the Gnostic gospel was delivered to me, which is now identified as the Book of Judas, the Gospel of Judas," said Haley.
The manuscript in Akron is just a portion of the ancient document, believed to have been written on papyrus in 300 A.D. The manuscript was discovered in a cave in Egypt in 1970.
Right now, it is tucked away in a vault somewhere in the First Merit Building in downtown Akron.
