{"product_id":"9781108043397","title":"An Arabic Version of the Acts of the Apostles and the Seven Catholic Epistles : From an Eighth or Ninth Century MS. in the Convent of St. Catharine on Mount Sinai (Cambridge Library Collection - Biblical Studies)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe twin sisters Agnes Lewis (1843-1926) and Margaret Gibson (1843-1920) were pioneering biblical scholars who became experts in a number of ancient languages. Travelling widely in the Middle East, they made several significant discoveries, including one of the earliest manuscripts of the Four Gospels in Syriac, a dialect of Aramaic, the language probably spoken by Jesus himself. Their chief discoveries were made in the Monastery of St Catherine on Mount Sinai. This text is a transcription of an Arabic manuscript discovered at the monastery and translated by Margaret Gibson. First published in 1899, the text includes sections of the New Testament as well as a short moral parable, some religious aphorisms and an essay on the nature of God. Illustrated with reproductions of the manuscript pages, this book is a useful text in the study of Arabic Christianity as well as an interesting resource for theological scholars.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45412546904143,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":1295.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/9174\/2287\/files\/9781108043397-1.jpg?v=1780448776","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.tw\/products\/9781108043397","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Taiwan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
