The photographs and messages, which were being sent from Arab countries, were meant to entice the recipient to purchase these lost historical items that had at one time belonged to various Jewish communities from Islamic lands, and had now been rediscovered many decades after the Jews, who had lived in these countries for the last two thousand years, were gone.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Looking at the growing pile of evidence, the new curator had no choice but to ask himself some tough questions:\u00a0 Were these items proof of some unknown writing tradition? Was it possible these were artifacts not yet accounted for by the historical research of Jewish communities from the Islamic countries? And why were all the manuscripts inscribed on metal and not parchment or paper as is generally the case? Taking a second (and in some cases also a third) look at the messages was all Dr. Stollman needed to quell any uncertainty. He and many other experts have since discovered that it takes only little time and practice to recognize a forgery.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The first pictures he received were also the easiest to spot: manuscripts, and this is an iron-clad rule, are not engraved on metal (with the exception of inscriptions), and most definitely are not <em>printed<\/em> on metal. Another dead giveaway was the content of these \u201clost works\u201d: most of the forgers, looking to get rich quick and attempting to take advantage of the naivet\u00e9 of others, exposed their own lack of knowledge in the process. In most cases, the manuscripts were filled with text that, while composed of Hebrew letters, were complete gibberish. Apparently, the forgers copied Hebrew texts from the internet, but possessing not even an elementary knowledge of the language led them to many strange mistakes in the transcription.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.nli.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/1-1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-38793\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.nli.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/1-1.jpg\" alt=\"1\" width=\"500\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/1-1.jpg 708w, https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/1-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/1-1-450x600.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_38795\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-38795\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.nli.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-38795\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.nli.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/2.jpg\" alt=\"1\" width=\"500\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/2.jpg 708w, https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/2-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/2-450x600.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-38795\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Forgeries from Libya<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, the forgers\u2019 ignorance, not to mention greed, didn\u2019t end there.

Some collectors, themselves citizens of Arab countries, often with deep pockets, have innocently purchased a rare manuscript or item whose value was worth more than its weight in gold, or so they were told. Among those who were quick to pass on information to Dr. Stollman and other Library staff about a sale were a former head of the Mossad, Israeli media and political personalities, and others in either direct or indirect contact with the Arab world. People continue to contact the Library daily about items like these.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.nli.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/8.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-38807\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.nli.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/8.jpg\" alt=\"1\" width=\"500\" height=\"376\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/8.jpg 1401w, https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/8-300x226.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/8-768x578.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/8-798x600.jpg 798w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.nli.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/9.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-38809\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.nli.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/9.jpg\" alt=\"1\" width=\"500\" height=\"381\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/9.jpg 1420w, https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/9-300x229.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/9-768x586.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/9-787x600.jpg 787w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_38805\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-38805\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.nli.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/7.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-38805\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.nli.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/7.jpg\" alt=\"1\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/7.jpg 1374w, https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/7-300x222.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/7-768x570.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blognli2026.moonsite.co.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/7-809x600.jpg 809w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-38805\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The text printed on these supposedly ancient documents from Belgrade appears to have been copied, poorly, from a New-Age self-help book.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The fakes have improved over time.

Nevertheless, Dr. Stollman tells us, \u201cWith a trained eye\u2014it doesn\u2019t take more than a few seconds to figure out that it\u2019s a fake.\u201d Historical knowledge helps spot the new fakes that contain images (apparently printed ones) of a Star of David on the cover.

In England for example, the Centre for the Study of the Jordanian Lead Books treats these items in all seriousness. On <a href=\"http:\/\/www.leadbookcentre.com\/publications.php\">the center\u2019s webpage<\/a>, members discuss the question of authenticity: \u201cThe writing on the metal books is not babble. There is definitely code or encryption in the writing. Members of the Panel have already prepared some translations, these were presented as a preliminary report to the Board of the Centre at the Annual General Meeting on the 26th May 2016.\u201d Our thorough search of their website did not yield any such report, but in the center\u2019s other publications\u2014including videos on YouTube on which the comments option has been blocked\u2014it is claimed over and over that (apparently)\u00a0 these are authentic artifacts\u2014or at the least copies and replicas of authentic items that have been lost. We, however, have yet to be convinced.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In conclusion, Dr. Stollman, who today serves as chief curator of the National Library, admits, \u201cfrom time to time, an item comes up that makes you pause, even if only for a few seconds.\u201d The most confounding item he confronted was a Persian-Jewish forgery.
