Sisters of Sinai tells an extraordinary
tale of nineteenth-centurv exploration;
how two Scottish sisters made one of the most
important ancient manuscript finds of the age.
Hidden in a cupboard beneath the monastic library
at St Catherine s in the Sinai desert the twins
discovered what looked like a palimpsest: one text
written over another. It was Agnes who recognised
the obscured text for what it was
-
one of the earliest
copies of the Gospels written in ancient Syriac.
Once they had overcome the stubborn reluctance
of Cambridge scholars to authenticate the find and
had led an expedition of quarrelsome academics
back to Sinai to copy it, Agnes and Margaret Smith
-
in middle age and without any university qualifications
-
embarked on a life of demanding scholarship and
bold travel.
In this enthralling book, Janet Soskice takes the
reader on an astonishing journey from the Ayrshire
of the sisters childhood to the lost treasure trove of
the Cairo genizah. We trace the footsteps of the
intrepid pair as they voyage to Egypt, Sinai and
beyond, Murray s guidebook in hand, coping with
camels, unscrupulous dragomen, and unpredictable
welcomes. We discover the excitement and mystery
of the Gospel origins at a time when Christianity
was under attack in Europe. Crucially, this is the
previously untold story of two remarkable women
who were undeterred in their spirit of adventure
and who overcame insuperable odds to become
world-class scholars with a place in history.
Janet Soskice grew up in Canada and has lived for some
years in England where she is Reader in Philosophical
Theology at the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of
Jesus College. As well as lecturing around the world, she
writes for The Times and the Times Literary Supplement,
and is a frequent contributor to radio and television.
