|  | Eastern Crossroads: Essays on Medieval Christian Legacy by Juan Pedro Monferrer-Sala
This volume contains papers from the First International Congress on Eastern Christianity held in Córdoba, Spain, November 2005. The encounter of medieval Christian writers with several linguistic traditions through the Middle Ages produced one of the most important branches of Middle Eastern literature. This encounter not only changed the nature of the respective writings throughout time, but also influenced considerably the development of the legacies transmitted by the writers and the scholars of various Eastern Christian churches.
The volume illustrates the strength of Christian cultural life through the Middle Ages under different socio-political situations, including the context of a predominantly Islamic culture.

Commenting on an invaluable document that she personally found, Agnes Smith Lewis expresses her professional insights on this earliest extant version of the Syriac Gospels. This fourth century document, erased and written over, was discovered in the library of St. Catherine’s Monastery on Mount Sinai in 1892. After introducing the manuscript, Lewis boldly discusses the issues of variants in biblical manuscripts and their origins. She deftly applies these observations to the four canonical Gospels, specifically focusing on the role of the Sinai Palimpsest. Based on the variants she produces, Lewis makes suggestions for emendations in the Revised Version of the Bible, in wide usage at the time. Sensing that issues of faith have been broached, she concludes her study with a consideration of how science and the teaching of the Bible might work together. In this sense, as well as in others, the work of Lewis was clearly ahead of its time.
Agnes Smith Lewis (1843-1926) was a truly remarkable scholar. A woman well versed in ancient languages, she traveled intrepidly during the "age of men." Speaking Greek, Hebrew, and Arabic, she set off for the Sinai with her twin sister Margaret Dunlop Gibson. There she discovered the oldest Syriac manuscript of the New Testament. She made five further trips to the Sinai during her lifetime.
