About this title

Synopsis

How The Codex Was Found is a book detailing the discovery of a significant religious artifact, the Codex Sinaiticus, by two women, Mrs. Lewis and her sister, Mrs. Gibson, during their two visits to Sinai in 1892 and 1893. The book is based on Mrs. Lewis's journals and provides a first-hand account of the events leading up to the discovery of the Codex, which is considered one of the oldest and most complete copies of the Bible. The book describes the journey of the two women, their interactions with the monks at the Monastery of St. Catherine, and the challenges they faced during their search for the Codex. It also includes photographs and illustrations of the Codex and the surrounding area.
