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, the
language believed to have been spoken by Jesus himself. Previously
published in the Horae Semitica series, this second fascicule
contains Gibson's English translation of the Didascalia
Apostolorum. Traditionally attributed to the apostles, the text is
a treatise on Church law and doctrine, and the volume includes
additional material supplied by Gibson from a variety of sources.
Covering topics including church organisation, charity and
forgiveness, Gibson described the Didascalia as a 'potent
instrument' used to gain the 'unquestioning obedience of the
Christian people'. An early precursor to the Apostolic
Constitutions, this text is of considerable significance to
ecclesiastical history.
