Agnes Smith Lewis

""A Translation of the Four Gospels: From the Syriac of the Sinaitic Palimpsest"" is a book written by Agnes Smith Lewis and published in 1894. This book is a translation of the four Gospels of the New Testament, namely Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, from the Syriac language. The Syriac version used in this translation is from the Sinaitic Palimpsest, which is a manuscript discovered by Agnes Smith Lewis and her sister Margaret Dunlop Gibson in the late 19th century. The Sinaitic Palimpsest is a parchment manuscript that contains the Old and New Testaments in Syriac, and was found in the library of St. Catherine's Monastery in Sinai, Egypt. The translation of the Gospels in this book is considered to be an important contribution to the study of the New Testament, as the Syriac language and the Sinaitic Palimpsest are significant sources for understanding the early Christian history and traditions. The book also includes an introduction by Agnes Smith Lewis, which provides background information on the Syriac language and the Sinaitic Palimpsest, as well as a discussion on the process of translating the Gospels. Overall, ""A Translation of the Four Gospels: From the Syriac of the Sinaitic Palimpsest"" is a valuable resource for scholars, students, and anyone interested in the history and origins of Christianity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
