'The hunt for early Bible manuscripts was among the most romantic
of all the 19th century's grand quests...At the heart of this
lively, inspiring double biography is the story of how a pair of
spirited Presbyterian women made their own extraordinary discovery'
Sunday Times Sisters of Sinai is the story of how Scottish twin
sisters made one of the most important manuscript finds of the
nineteenth century - an early copy of the gospels which lay hidden
in the Sinai desert. We trace the footsteps of the intrepid pair
from the Ayrshire of their childhood, as they voyage to Egypt,
Sinai and beyond, coping with camels, unscrupulous dragomen, and
unpredictable welcomes, not least from the academics of their
adopted home in Cambridge. Fast-paced, informative and written with
dry wit, this is a story of two remarkable women, undeterred in
their spirit of adventure, who overcame insuperable odds to claim a
place in history.
