The Four Gospels in Syriac: Transcribed from the Sinaitic Palimpsest is a book written by Robert Lubbock Bensly in 1894. The book is a transcription of the four gospels of the New Testament in Syriac, a dialect of Aramaic, that were found on a palimpsest manuscript discovered in the Saint Catherine's Monastery in Sinai, Egypt. A palimpsest is a manuscript that has been erased and reused, and in this case, the Syriac gospels were written over an earlier Greek text. Bensly's transcription provides a valuable resource for scholars and researchers studying the history and development of the Bible and the Syriac language. The book includes an introduction that provides background information on the manuscript and the Syriac language, as well as notes and annotations throughout the text to aid in understanding and interpretation. Overall, The Four Gospels in Syriac is an important work that sheds light on the history of the Bible and the Syriac language.With An Introduction By Agnes Smith Lewis.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
