How The Codex Was Found is a book written by Agnes Smith Lewis that chronicles her two visits to Sinai in 1892 and 1893. The book is based on Mrs. Lewis's journals, and it tells the story of how she and her sister, Margaret Dunlop Gibson, discovered the Codex Sinaiticus, one of the oldest and most important manuscripts of the Bible. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part describing the journey to Sinai and the second part detailing the discovery of the Codex. Throughout the book, Mrs. Lewis provides vivid descriptions of the landscape, the people, and the customs of the region, as well as insights into the process of deciphering ancient manuscripts. The book is a fascinating account of a remarkable discovery, and it offers a unique perspective on the history of biblical scholarship.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
