Nicolas Notovitch



Shulim or Nikolai Aleksandrovich Notovich (Russian: Николай Александрович Нотович) (August 13, 1858 – after 1916), known in the West as Nicolas Notovitch, was a Crimean Jewish adventurer who claimed to be a Russian aristocrat,[citation needed] spy and journalist.

Notovitch is known for his 1894 book claiming that during the unknown years of Jesus, he left Galilee for India and studied with Buddhists and Hindus before returning to Judea. Notovitch's claim was based on a document he said he had seen at the Hemis Monastery while he stayed there.

“Wander not in the darkness, seeking the way, lest ye fall into the ditch; but gather together, sustain one another, put your faith in your God and wait for the first glimmer of light to re-appear. 9. “He who sustains his neighbor, sustains himself; and he who protects his family, protects all his people and his country.”
Nicolas Notovitch, The Unknown Life of Jesus Christ

“Therefore I say unto you, after God, to woman must belong your best thoughts, for she is the divine temple where you will most easily obtain perfect happiness.”
Nicolas Notovitch, The Unknown Life of Jesus Christ

“When we were seated, they brought us beer, made with hops, called here “Tchang” and brewed in the cloister. It has a tendency to rapidly produce embonpoint upon the monks, which is regarded as a sign of the particular favor of Heaven.”
Nicolas Notovitch, The Unknown Life of Jesus Christ
