{"product_id":"9781108043359","title":"Select Narratives of Holy Women: Syriac Text : From the Syro-Antiochene or Sinai Palimpsest (Cambridge Library Collection - Religion)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 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. Their chief discoveries were made in the Monastery of St Catherine on Mount Sinai. This fascicule, a useful resource for scholars of Syriac, and originally published as part of the Studia Sinaitica series, is the text of a Syriac manuscript from the monastic library at St Catherine's. Transcribed by Lewis and first published in 1900, the manuscript recounts the tales of a number of saintly women including Pelagia, a rich courtesan who converted to Christianity, and Eugenia, a holy woman who lived as a man and became the abbot of a monastery.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49122338636003,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/3758\/6147\/files\/9781108043359-1.jpg?v=1788370304","url":"https:\/\/usa.kinokuniya.com\/ja\/products\/9781108043359","provider":"Books Kinokuniya USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
