In 2005 DE was contacted by a mysterious bedouin Arab and asked to look at some objects found in caves in Northern Jordan. Expecting to dismiss them as ‘more leather or parchment fakes’, David, much to his surprise found that the artefacts were made entirely of lead - and realised immediately that they were unique: they were codices: early books and if they were fakes what were they fakes of?
