A Palestinian Syriac Lectionary: Containing Lessons From The Pentateuch, Job, Proverbs, Prophets, Acts And Epistles

""A Palestinian Syriac Lectionary"" is a book compiled by Agnes Smith Lewis, containing lessons from various books of the Bible including the Pentateuch, Job, Proverbs, Prophets, Acts, and Epistles. The book is written in the Syriac language and was likely used by Palestinian Christians during the early centuries of Christianity. The Syriac language is a dialect of Aramaic, which was spoken in the region at the time. The book provides insight into the religious practices and beliefs of early Palestinian Christians, and is a valuable resource for scholars studying the history of Christianity in the Middle East.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
