Well i don't know enough about Mohammed to comment but I can be pretty certain when I say joseph smith was a liar, plain and simple. He translated tablets which no one ever saw into 17th century English when he lived in the 19th century. All it takes is a bit of critical thinking to debunk Joseph smith
Also you seam to forget he sat with his head in a hat lol. Like what a crock. I asked the Mormons for a book just to read their fairy tale and y know what I got a fucking tract every day from them / harassment at my front door and still no mormon bible!
With regards to Mohammed again similar story to Jesus though Mohammed actually told people Jesus was only a Prophet which makes more sense all around. He also taught the Doctorine that Allah / God / YHWH is the only person with Authority and the only God in existance and is not shared with anyone.
Also with regards to the Christians watching this forum. Did you know that according to Islam its an 'Unforgivable Sin' to believe/pray/worship anyone but God!

However, we cannot presume to know an unknown. To say that there is for a certainty a library of writings concerning Christ is fallacious, as you don't know exactly what those texts talk about. All you can do is speculate, and it's getting you no further than you were a few moments ago.
Do a google search, the whole library is not unknown. The majority of it is accessable.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vatican_Library
75,000 manuscripts (the largest collection in the world)
And over a million books.
Again to dismiss this wealth of knowledge just because of its location is pure foolishness
@Dirich the vatican library is not open to anyone. Only the Archivists have true access everyone else has to know the name of the book and the specific page they want to view. This is then run past the Head Archivist who approves or disapproves of the viewing. It is then presented opened for the person to study under the watchful eye of Vatican Security Staff.
No one has public access to the Secret Archives only the parts that the vatican wants people knowing are available which nullifies the idea of them being secret!
