IN THE SHADOW OF SINAI: A STORY OF TRAVEL AND RESEARCH FROM 1895-1897 and HOW THE CODEX WAS FOUND: A NARRATIVE OF TWO VISITS TO SINAI: FROM MRS LEWIS'S JOURNALS, 1892-1893-published here in a new one-volume edition-were originally published in the late 1890's, to great acclaim. They are not only interesting and witty travelogues, but they are also a superb record of the discovery of the Syriac palimpsest, and a narrative of the journeys and adventures surrounding that research. The text describes a very remarkable variant of the reported spoken word of Jesus Christ (Matthew xii: 36), which will be of interest to all Christians and scholars.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"It is with the observant eye...that these fascinating stories of their travels and the discovery of the Syriac manuscript of the Gospels are told. Better than many a novel..." -- The Expository Times of In The Shadow of Sinai. "Delightful... such accounts remain period pieces to attitudes, observations, labors, and ventures a century past. Historians of feminism might enjoy rediscovering these Victorian scholarly women." -- Choice BBC 2: Bible Hunters follow in the footsteps of the Scottish sisters Agnes Lewis and Margaret Gibson with In the Shadow of Sinai (published by The Alpha Press).
