Gaius Maecenas
Gaius Cilnius Maecenas (c. 70 – 8 BC) was a friend and political advisor to Octavian (who later reigned as emperor Augustus). He was also an important patron for the new generation of Augustan poets, including both Horace and Virgil. During the reign of Augustus, Maecenas served as a quasi-culture minister to the Roman emperor but in spite of his wealth and power he chose not to enter the Senate, remaining of equestrian rank.

2. Certains ont beau insinuer que la publication de l‘Evangile représente un négoce juteux, Rodolphe Kasser a la conscience tranquille: il a traduit ce texte gratuitement pour le compte de la Fondation Maecenas, propriétaire du manuscrit.
3. Cependant, un autre homme essayait également de couper l‘herbe sous le pied de la Fondation Maecenas et de la National Geographic Society: Jim Robinson, professeur ŕ l‘Université de Claremont en Californie et rival de Rodolphe Kasser, s‘apprętait ŕ publier sa propre version de l‘aventure de l‘Evangile de Judas.
