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
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 in the
ninth century. This two-part volume, first published in 1916, is a
detailed discussion of the Epistles of Paul drawn from many ancient
sources. Translated into English and edited by Margaret Gibson,
this is a valuable resource for theologians by a key figure in
Eastern Christianity.
