CHAPTER VII A LEAF OF THE HEBREW ECCLESIASTICUS Of all the journeys which my sister and I have made in the East, that in the spring of 1896 is the only one which was unwillingly undertaken; and yet it has been not the least fruitful in results. We had, in truth, resolved to spend the winter quietly at home, and devote ourselves to the proofs of the Palestinian Syriac texts which we had secured, when the news we received from Cairo seemed to indicate that there might be a chance of our finding something there. If we were to go to Egypt, we thought it would be well for us to see the manuscripts at Jerusalem also, the Mesopotamian valley being then closed to all travellers, save those whose primary object, like that of our friends Dr. and Mrs. Rendel Harris, was to help the survivors of the late terrible massacres. It is easy enough to get to Jerusalem; but on reaching Cairo, we found a not wholly unexpected obstacle in our way, quarantine, an experience which we have never yet undergone, and which our genial friend, Sir George Humphry, the distinguished surgeon, had pronounced to be, even in European lands, more dangerous than the cholera. Whether it be so or not, we were determined not to expose ourselves to it, especially on shore; and as we found that no steam-boat company would arrange for one of their vessels to stop at Jaffa, or even at Beyrout, so as to let the passengers get through the ordeal on board, we cut the matter short by determining to proceed to Jerusalem on dry land, or in other words, over the short desert to Gaza. Leaving the train at Kantarah, we found our tents pitched on the Asiatic bank of the Suez Canal. Darkness brought on a vision of loveliness. Beneath the brilliant stars lay the broad strip of water which has...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: IN THE SHADOW OF SINAI: A STORY OF TRAVEL AND RESEARCH FROM 1895-1897 and HOW THE CODEX WAS FOUND: A NARRATIVE OF TWO VISITS TO SINAI: FROM MRS LEWIS'S JOURNALS, 1892-1893—published here in a new one-volume edition—were originally published in the late 1890's, to great acclaim. They are not only interesting and witty travelogues, but they are also a superb record of the discovery of the Syriac palimpsest, and a narrative of the journeys and adventures surrounding that research. The text describes a very remarkable variant of the reported spoken word of Jesus Christ (Matthew xii: 36), which will be of interest to all Christians and scholars.

Book excerpt: Agnes and Margaret Smith were not your typical Victorian scholars or adventurers. Female, middle-aged, and without university degrees or formal language training, the twin sisters nevertheless made one of the most important scriptural discoveries of their time: the earliest known copy of the Gospels in ancient Syriac, the language that Jesus spoke. In an era when most Westerners—male or female—feared to tread in the Middle East, they slept in tents and endured temperamental camels, unscrupulous dragomen, and suspicious monks to become unsung heroines in the continuing effort to discover the Bible as originally written.
