Professor Janet Soskice, Fellow of Jesus College, Cambridge and author of Sisters of Sinai tells the fascinating story of Agnes and Margaret Smith who in 1892 made the difficult journey to St. Catherine's monastery at Mount Sinai, found a priceless Syriac manuscript of the Gospels and, aged over 50, reinvented themselves as scholars of Syriac and Arabic manuscripts.
