A Translation Of The Four Gospels

A Translation Of The Four Gospels: From The Syriac Of The Sinaitic Palimpsest (1894) is a book written by Agnes Smith Lewis. The book is a translation of the four gospels of the Bible from the Syriac language found in the Sinaitic Palimpsest.

The book includes an introduction by Lewis, explaining the history and significance of the Sinaitic Palimpsest and the Syriac language.
