Inhaltsangabe

""How The Codex Was Found"" is a historical narrative written by Agnes Smith Lewis, describing her two visits to the Sinai Peninsula in 1892 and 1893. The book details the discovery of a significant manuscript, known as the Codex Sinaiticus, which is one of the oldest surviving copies of the Christian Bible. The author, Mrs. Lewis, was a renowned scholar of Semitic languages and was accompanied by her twin sister, Margaret Dunlop Gibson, on the expeditions. The book provides a detailed account of the arduous journey to the remote region and the challenges they faced in locating and acquiring the manuscript. It also includes descriptions of the local Bedouin tribes, their customs, and the harsh living conditions in the desert.
