THE ANXIOUS BENCH:
Alternative Scriptures: A Bit Of Bible Long Lost. The Greek fragments of the Gospel of Thomas (the one later found complete in a Coptic translation in the Nag Hammadi Library - see
here) were published at the end of the nineteenth century.
This gospel became so well know that someone promptly published a poem on it. Not long after that, someone else quoted it in a textbook for school children.
