In February 1892, Agnes S. Lewis discovered an old Syriac Gospel palimpsest manuscript in St Catherine Monastery's library that became known as the Syriac Sinaiticus and is still in the its possession. Agnes S. Lewis and her sister Margaret D. Gibson returned in 1893 with a Cambridge team of scholars that included Robert L. Bensly, Francis C. Burkitt, both with their wives, and J. Rendel Harris to photograph and transcribe the manuscript in its entirety, as well as to prepare the first catalogues of the Arabic and Syriac manuscripts. Only among the New Finds two additional palimpsest manuscripts came to light containing additional passages of the Old Syriac Gosples.
