Edmond Bordeaux Szekely (March 5, 1905 – 1979) was a Hungarian philologist/linguist, philosopher, psychologist and natural living enthusiast. Szekely authored The Essene Gospel of Peace, which he alleged to have translated from an ancient text he discovered in the 1920s. Scholars consider the text a forgery.[1][2]
