The sisters Agnes Lewis (1843 1926) and Margaret Gibson (1843 1920)
were pioneering biblical scholars who became experts in a number of
ancient languages. Travelling widely in the Middle East, they made
several significant discoveries, including one of the earliest
manuscripts of the Four Gospels in Syriac, a dialect of Aramaic,
the language probably spoken by Jesus himself. Their chief
discoveries were made in the Monastery of St Catherine on Mount
Sinai. This work is a list of the monastery's manuscripts in
Syriac, compiled by Agnes Lewis in 1893 and first published in
1894. Written in English and Modern Greek for use as a tool for
scholars and for the monks themselves, this fascicule provides a
careful document of the monastery's Syriac pages, their physical
state and content. This text will be of great interest to Syriac
scholars and those interested in Middle Eastern monastic and
broader Christian history.
