Biblical Writings in
Old Turkish Mosque

Some very interesting manuscripts
have been discovered in the vault OF
the -Jami-and-Kebar mosque, in Dam
ascus. Relying on an ancient tradi-
ton, which said that important docu-
ments relating to the early Christians
were stored there, certain Biblical
scholars requested the sultan to let
them search the vault, and after con-
sidering the matter for year and
being assured by oriental scholars
that there were no ancient documents
in the vault relating to the Mahome-
tan creed. he finally gave his consent.
AS result a thorough search was
recently made and many valuable
manuscripts were found. These were
taken to Constantinople, and an ex-
animation showed that among them
were several fragments Of the Old and
New Testament in the ancient Syraic
tongue, as well as portions of trans
lation of the Old and New Testament
in that Syraic dialect which was
spoken in Palestine in ancient times
