One night in June 1920 he opened old Guiseppe’s box with great excitement. He broke the seals and discovered several scrolls that were still in good condition. He found a long thick nail. This encouraged him to look further. He was horrified when he found the bones of a man’s right hand, together with two more nails and a small piece of papyrus ... THE HAND THAT DROVE THE NAILS tells the story of Scipio Martialis through the experience of a scholar of Greek Aramaic, a man who was shot in 1916 during World War I. He found himself in the strange situation of possibly making the greatest discovery in 2,000 years.
