IN THE SHADOW OF SINAI: A STORY OF TRAVEL AND RESEARCH FROM 1895-1897 and HOW THE CODEX WAS FOUND: A NARRATIVE OF TWO VISITS TO SINAI: FROM MRS LEWISS JOURNALS, 1892-1893—published here in a new one-volume edition—were originally published in the late 1890s, to great acclaim. They are not only interesting and witty travelogues, but they are also a superb record of the discovery of the Syriac palimpsest, and a narrative of the journeys and adventures surrounding that research. The text describes a very remarkable variant of the reported spoken word of Jesus Christ (Matthew xii: 36), which will be of interest to all Christians and scholars.

"Delightful … such accounts remain period pieces to attitudes, observations, labors, and ventures a century past. Historians of feminism might enjoy rediscovering these Victorian scholarly women."  —Choice
