Description
The **Syriac Sinaitic** (syrsin), known also as *Sinaitic Palimpsest*, of Saint Catherine's Monastery, Mount Sinai is a late 4th century manuscript of 358 pages, containing a translation of the four canonical gospels of the New Testament into Syriac, which have been overwritten by a vita (biography) of female saints and martyrs with a date corresponding to AD 778. This palimpsest is the oldest copy of the gospels in Syriac, one of two surviving manuscripts (the other being the *Curetonian Gospels*) that possibly predate the *Peshitta* (although this is debated), the standard Syriac translation of the Bible. - [Wikipedia][1] [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syriac_Sinaiticus
