Sinai Syriac 30
Old Syriac — Sinaitic
The erased lower text preserves the Four Gospels in Old Syriac. MANUSKRPT currently has audited survival routing, not reusable Syriac source wording.
- Institution
- St. Catherine's Monastery
Sinai, Egypt - Date
- Gospel undertext: 4th/5th century in the Sinai Palimpsests Project; the later upper text must remain separately dated
- Language
- Old Syriac
- What this is
- Physical palimpsest manuscript; its Gospel undertext is the Sinaitic Old Syriac witness.
- Digital access
- Source record / external viewer
Why this matters
It is a distinct Old Syriac Gospel witness and must never be collapsed into the Peshitta or the Curetonian manuscript.

RIGHTS-AWARE ACCESS
THE RECORD IS CONNECTED. THE IMAGE STAYS WITH THE HOLDER.
MANUSKRPT can still document the manuscript and link to its source without copying images whose reuse terms are not cleared for this public use.
Image-use status
Institutional multispectral imagery is important evidence, but public viewing does not by itself grant MANUSKRPT permission to mirror or redistribute it. Image hosting stays closed until item-level reuse rights are verified.
