    A scientist claims to have discovered a hidden ancient translation containing portions of the Gospel of Matthew which are said to be the only known “remnant of the fourth manuscript that attests to the Old Syriac version” of the Gospels.

    The researchers, including medievalist Grigory Kessel of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW or Österreichische Akademie der Wissenschaften), used ultraviolet photography to find the ancient translation hidden underneath three layers of text.
