Any progress on the found Bible in Turkey? - distazo - 11-18-2013
This book has been recovered from looters/smugglers in 2012.

Is there any published work/research being done on it?

Yes, it's a fake. That's why not much else has been said about it and the "discoverers" are eager for it to be forgotten.
I have at least one of these sorts of things pass across my desk a year. Whenever you hear "written on leather with golden letters" it's usually soiled cowhide with gold sharpie marker written in poor / pseudo-Syriac.
