Letter of Benan
text:
The Letter of Benan was a literary forgery issued by Ernst Edler von der Planitz in 1910, allegedly a translation from a fifth-century Coptic papyrus containing a translation of an original composed in Greek in 83 CE. There is no evidence that either the Greek or Coptic works ever existed. It consists of a letter purporting to be of an Egyptian physician describing his encounters with Jesus and the apostles.
