In "How the Codex Was Found," Margaret Dunlop Gibson recounts the remarkable journeys she undertook with her twin sister, Mrs. Lewis, in 1892 and 1893, which led to the discovery of an early and significant codex of ancient Syriac gospels. The narrative not only details their adventurous expeditions but also serves to clarify misconceptions surrounding the codex's discovery, addressing inaccuracies presented by other writers. Gibson's reflections highlight the importance of diligent scholarship and the pursuit of knowledge, themes that resonate today as we continue to seek truth in historical narratives.
