This work, first published in 1847, is an account by Constantin von
Tischendorf (1815 74) of his journeying in the Middle East at the
beginning of the 1840s. It is part travel log and part account of
the Christian history of the area. After encounters with such men
as Mehmet Ali and Ibrahim Pasha, he visits the library of the
Patriarch of Alexandria. The German biblical scholar then travels
to the monastery of Saint Catherine on Mount Sinai, where he makes
the extraordinary discovery of a previously unknown fourth-century
manuscript, one of the main witnesses to the Septuagint, before
reaching the main goal of his long journey - Jerusalem. This lively
narrative by a controversial scholar-explorer also entertains the
reader with some of the more unexpected elements of his travels,
such as an attack by robbers who are routed when he draws his
sword.
