Another Monastery, Another Ancient Manuscript Copied into the Blank Pages of a Modern Book

In my previous post I mentioned coming across Roger Pearse's report of a Facebook posting of scholar who discovered an ancient manuscript copied into a modern calendar book at a Syrian monastery. Owing to its obvious implications for the study of the lost Mar Saba document I just wrote an email to the scholar with some questions about his discovery and will post his answers if he gives me permission. Here is the original email I just sent:

Hi Adam McCollum:

I happened to have stumbled across your report of discovering an ancient manuscript in the empty lines of a Turkish-English-German calendar book. I couldn't help but think that there was an uncanny resemblance to the Mar Saba document discovered by Morton Smith. As you may be aware the document has been the source of some controversy most of which stems from people believing that it is unlikely that monks would preserve an otherwise unknown letter of Clement of Alexandria in the blank pages of Voss's 1646 edition of the letters of Ignatius of Antioch. I don't mean to ask you to step directly into this controversy but I have some questions about your discovery which might allow a lay person like myself to understand some things about the preservation of manuscripts in monasteries. My questions are:

1. have you ever come across other ancient manuscripts being preserved in the blank pages of modern books?
2. why do you think the copyist would have chosen to preserve the MS in this Turkish-English-German calendar book? Why not use blank paper?
3. is the manuscript that was copied into the Turkish-English-German calendar book known through other sources?
4. do you think the monks were influenced by Morton Smith's discovery of the Letter to Theodore copied in the blank pages of the Voss book? Do you think they are even aware of the discovery?
5. what do you think happened to the original manuscript that was copied into the Turkish-English-German calendar book? Does it still exist?
6. do you know who the copyist is/was? Can we contact him?

I really appreciate you taking the time to read this email. I know you must be very busy. Any help that you could give to answer some of the questions I have asked would be most appreciated.

Sincerely

Stephan Huller
