Inskripsi Yeshua A first-century A.D. ossuary (a box for bones) from Jerusalem has made headlines all over the world after appearing in the pages of Biblical Archaeology Review. The box bears an Aramaic inscription that reads, “James, the son of Joseph, brother of Jesus”--making it the earliest artifact ever found that mentions Jesus. The Biblical Archaeology Society quickly arranged for the bone box to be shipped to Toronto so it could be exhibited at the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) before thousands of Bible scholars and archaeologists who were to meet there in November. Then tragedy struck. When the ROM staff opened the packaging in which the bone box was shipped from Israel, they discovered that the box had cracked in several places. Luckily, there was hope. The ROM has on its staff one of the world’s leading stone conservators. With the permission of the box’s owner, the museum repaired the ossuary and put it on display in time for the gathering of scholars. The box attracted large crowds in Toronto, and a special session was devoted to it at the meeting of the Society of Biblical Literature. The session was marked by pointed debate, with questions raised about whether the inscription was written by two people at different times. The Biblical Archaeology Society arranged for a private viewing of the bone box by two dozen scholars. Harvard University’s Frank Moore Cross, acknowledged as the dean of epigraphers (specialists in ancient writing), declared that the inscription was written by one hand. Will the bone box be allowed to come to the United States? At the moment, we do not know. But watch this Web page and turn to Biblical Archaeology Review for the latest on this fascinating artifact.
