A Palestinian Syriac Lectionary containing Lessons from the Pentateuch, Job, Proverbs, Prophets, Acts, and Epistles By Agnes Smith Lewis The manuscript from which this text has been copied was acquired by me in the spring of 1895 whilst I was passing through Cairo on my way to Mount Sinai. I first saw it in the hands of a dealer, who had been sent, I cannot say recommended, to Mrs. Gibson and myself by a learned Syrian gentleman, resident in Egypt. I had then been working for two years at the two Palestinian Syriac Lectionaries of the Gospels on Mount Sinai, one of which had been discovered by myself in 1892, the other by my friend, Dr J. Rendel Harris, in 1893. There is an old Book which says, "to him that hath shall be given," and thus when my eye fell on the names of Paul the Apostle and of Amos the prophet in the rubrics I was seized with an irresistible longing, and ten minutes later the volume had become my own property. I was unable to guess, even approximately, the date of my newly found treasure, for the last ten leaves, one of which doubtless contains the colophon, had been given away, one by one, by the dealer to various people who regarded them only in the light of curiosities. This is borne out by the fresh appearance of the rents. My first care was to write out a summary of its contents, and these revealed the fact that I had become possessed of many interesting portions of the Old Testament text not hitherto known in Palestinian Syriac, as well as some from the Acts and from St Paul's Epistles, so that the little manuscript would surely prove to be unique of its kind. I had some misgivings as to whether or no it had been honestly come by, whether in fact it did not form part of a theft of MSS. which had recently taken place from the Convent of St Catherine. I therefore took care to describe it exactly to several of the Sinai monks, including Father Euthymius, who was sub-librarian for many years under the late lamented Father Galaktion, and who knows the Library better than any of his brethren. They all assured me, independently of each other, that nothing resembling it had ever been seen in the Convent. Nevertheless, I do not accept implicitly the story told by the dealer, and embodied in the receipt he gave me, that it had been an heirloom in a Syrian family, who had emigrated to America from the village of Rashif in the Lebanon, and who had parted with it for the sake of their passage-money. I have made every endeavour to discover the missing leaves, but hitherto without success. My justification for putting the Lectionary into "Studia Sinaitica" is that I picked it up, like a pebble, on the rugged path which leads to the Convent. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Windham Press is committed to bringing the lost cultural heritage of ages past into the 21st century through high-quality reproductions of original, classic printed works at affordable prices. This book has been carefully crafted to utilize the original images of antique books rather than error-prone OCR text. This also preserves the work of the original typesetters of these classics, unknown craftsmen who laid out the text, often by hand, of each and every page you will read. Their subtle art involving judgment and interaction with the text is in many ways superior and more human than the mechanical methods utilized today, and gave each book a unique, hand-crafted feel in its text that connected the reader organically to the art of bindery and book-making. We think these benefits are worth the occasional imperfection resulting from the age of these books at the time of scanning, and their vintage feel provides a connection to the past that goes beyond the mere words of the text.

The work of the remarkable sisters Agnes Smith Lewis and Margaret Dunlop Gibson, this lectionary of what is now known as Christian Palestinian Aramaic, was re-edited in the light of two manuscripts from the Sinai, which they recovered, and from Paul de Lagarde's Evangeliarium Hierosolymitanum. An important document for the textual criticism of the New Testament as well as for the early practice of the church, Lewis and Dunlap added to its value by composing this light "critical edition." Presented in Syriac with English annotations to the Greek text of the Gospels, this useful study will be welcome by New Testament scholars and Syriac scholars alike.
