In The Shadow Of Sinai is a travelogue and research account written by Agnes Smith Lewis. The book chronicles her journey to the Middle East in 1895-1897, where she and her twin sister Margaret conducted research on ancient manuscripts. The sisters traveled through Egypt, Palestine, and Syria, visiting monasteries and libraries to study ancient texts. The book provides a detailed account of their travels, including descriptions of the people they met, the places they visited, and the challenges they faced. The sisters' research was focused on the Syriac version of the New Testament, and their work was instrumental in helping to preserve and translate ancient manuscripts. In The Shadow Of Sinai is a fascinating account of a pioneering journey of discovery and research in the Middle East at the turn of the 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
