How many languages did priests master? What was their literacy level? What did they copy and where? By addressing these and related questions, alternating between overviews and case studies, the essays in this volume aim to shed new light on the cultural role of priests who were active in Sinai and the Holy Land during the Byzantine and immediate post-Byzantine periods and who wrote in the many languages of the Christian Orient. Most of the contributions are devoted to priests and manuscripts from the Monastery of St Catherine (Sinai), focusing on books copied in Greek, Arabic, Syriac, and Georgian.
