The twin 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. Originally
published in the Horae Semitica series, this fascicule contains the
Syriac text of an Assyrian bishop's biblical commentary. Considered
by some to be the father of the Eastern Church, Isho'dad of Merv
produced detailed discussions of most books of the Bible for his
congregation in the ninth century. This volume, first published in
1911, is a detailed interpretation of the gospels of Matthew and
Mark, drawing from many ancient sources. Translated and edited by
Margaret Gibson, this is a valuable and informative resource for
theologians by a key figure in Eastern Christianity.
