The Archko Library: Translated From Ancient Manuscripts At The Vatican Of Rome, And The Seraglio Library At Constantinople

by William Dennes Mahan, M. Mcintosh, T. H. Twyman

The Archko Library is a book that was translated from ancient manuscripts found in two libraries - the Vatican of Rome and the Seraglio Library at Constantinople. The book was originally published in 1884 and was revised and republished in 1904 by William Dennes Mahan. The Archko Library is a collection of documents that claim to be eyewitness accounts of the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. These documents include letters, reports, and testimonies from various individuals who were said to have been present during the events described in the New Testament. The book also includes accounts of the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus, as well as details about his teachings and miracles. The authenticity of these documents has been widely debated, with some scholars questioning their validity and others defending their accuracy. Despite the controversy surrounding the Archko Library, it remains an important historical document that sheds light on the early Christian church and its beliefs.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.

[Jonene]

This is non-fiction. The author discovered ancient records in the Vatican in the 1800's and had them translated when he discovered what they were: Formal letters, records and inquiries into Christ by the Roman and Jewish leaders, trying to see if he was just crazy or a real threat. Each interview is tainted by the person's views, but an amazing peak into what the people thought and did, when Jesus began teaching and proclaimed himself the Messiah. If you are able to find this book, understand that the first third is the author's description of how he came to find and translate the records. It gets a bit boring, but the rest is definitely worth the effort.

This book should be required reading for all christians. Whether you believe or not the behind the scenes story on how this book came to be, it is fascinating and well written. It will make you think and some of you may consider the possibility that it is new knowledge.

I’ve been reading this book as the same days I watched Mel Gibson’s “The Passion of The Christ” and found many similarities between both while I think the tortures scenes comes from "The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ" by Anne Catherine Emmerich . Even that I’m not a scholar in Christendom I assume I can not question the facts on this book, despite that its sources are questionable. Literally I checked information about it on google to find that it's a late nineteenth century hoax. You even might experience paranormal activity after reading it.

This was an interesting book, at the very least. Purportedly, in the 1800 a man sought information from a contact in the Vatican Archives. These individual chapters are, supposedly, from the archives of the Catholic Church on these specific topics that are born within the covers of this book. I, my personal opinion, place little weight on these being true to form for personal and specific reasons. That being said, it was an interesting book, true or not.

[Timothy Beidleman]

Amazing and what an unexpected journey.

[Jamie’s Reading]

This book was very interesting. It provides translation of some secular and Jewish writings (scrolls) and accounts of Jesus found in the Vatican. The transcriptions took place in the later 1800s. Documents transcribed are the writings of Pilate, Herod Antepas and Herod Antepater, Caiaphas, Hillel, and Gamaliel.

[Dr. Jason Frazier]

Oh if only this book were true! However, a good researcher can easily determine this book is a fraud and its author was exposed as such. I don’t believe it is still in print because of the lawsuits and false claims made therein.

[Jonathan Carmona]

Incredible book of the records and letters of famous and important past people specifically in connection with the New Testament Gospel narrative. This book also gives great insight into the man Jesus Christ; who he was and what his youth was like.

[KandyMay Poff]

Very disappointed to find out this book was found to be fraudulent. That's what I get for not doing my research prior to reading. :(

[Linda]

An interesting supplemental read. It contains letters supposedly written about beginning Christianity. Very interesting.

[Nancy]

On recommendation of a friend..

[Susan]

This is an excellent account of biblical historical happenings from old to new testament.

Maybe would have enjoyed this more if it was presented as historical fiction and not plagiarized from other authors' works?
