Select Narratives Of Holy Women

Select Narratives of Holy Women: From the Syro-Antiochene or Sinai Palimpsest is a book written by Agnes Smith Lewis and published in 1900. The book contains a collection of narratives about holy women, which were originally written in Syriac and found in a palimpsest (a manuscript that has been erased and written over) in the Sinai desert. The narratives are believed to have been written in the 4th or 5th century and provide a glimpse into the lives of women who were revered for their religious devotion and spiritual insights. The book includes translations of these narratives, along with commentary and analysis by the author. It is a valuable resource for scholars of early Christian history and those interested in the role of women in religious traditions.As Written Above The Old Syriac Gospels By John The Stylite, Of Beth-Mari-Qanun In A.D. 778.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
