Sisters Of Sinai How Two Lady Adventurers Found the Hidden Gospel by J Soskice
Hidden in a cupboard beneath the library at St Catherine's in the Sinai desert two sisters discovered what looked like a palimpsest. It was Agnes who recognized the obscured text for what it was - one of the earliest copies of the Gospels written in ancient Syriac. This book traces their footsteps as they voyage to Egypt, Sinai and beyond.
