Robert L. Bensly – författare

Originally published in 1875, this is the first publication of a previously missing fragment of some seventy verses from the seventh chapter of the fourth book of Ezra in the Old Testament (sometimes known as 2 Esdras in the Apocrypha). The text is reproduced in the original language with copious notes by Bensly, a highly respected biblical scholar and a member of the committee that translated the English Revised Version of the Bible in the late nineteenth century, as well as with a brief history of the discovery of the lacuna and of the missing text. This book will be of value to any student of the Bible and to anyone interested in paleography or the history of biblical translations.

Originally published in 1889, this book presents chapters 11.28 to 13.25 of the Harklean version of the Epistle to the Hebrews. The text also contains an introduction and comprehensive notes. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the books of the New Testament and biblical criticism.

On Mount Sinai, Agnes Smith Lewis discovered the palimpsest manuscript that would be known as the Sinai Codex. The discovery was shared with Robert L. Bensly and F. Crawford Burkitt. The three of them worked on the manuscript, this work presenting the fruit of their labors.
