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
English 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, focuses on the four gospels and provides
detailed interpretation and explanation of each book. Translated
and edited by Margaret Gibson, this is a valuable and informative
resource for theologians by a key figure in Eastern Christianity.
