Body
The Monastery of St. Catherine on Sinai was founded in the 6th cent. It had a multicultural community prior to the Ottoman period when it became entirely Greek.
西奈山圣凯瑟琳修道院 (Monastery of St. Catherine on Sinai) 始建于 6 世纪 (6th cent.)。在奥斯曼时期 (Ottoman period) 之前，它拥有一个多元文化的社群，此后它完全变成了希腊人 (Greek)。
The Monastery of St. Catherine on Sinai was founded in the 6th cent. It had a multicultural community prior to the Ottoman period when it became entirely Greek. Alongside its Greek, Georgian, and Arabic mss., the monastery preserves the most important collection of early Syriac mss., after that of Dayr al-Suryān . The most famous of its manuscripts is Syr. 30, the palimpsest Old Syriac Gospels (unlike many of the monastery’s mss., which are now in western libraries, this ms. remains in Sinai). After a fire in 1975 a blocked up room with further fragmentary mss. in different languages, including Syriac, was discovered. Whereas Dayr al-Suryān has transmitted Syr. Orth. mss., those of St Catherine’s Monastery are almost all Melkite.
西奈圣凯瑟琳修道院 (Monastery of St. Catherine on Sinai) 建于 6 世纪 (6th cent.)。在奥斯曼时期 (Ottoman period) 之前，它拥有一个多元文化的社群，此后它完全变成了希腊人的修道院。除了其希腊语、格鲁吉亚语和阿拉伯语手稿 (mss.) 之外，该修道院保存着仅次于叙利亚修道院 (Dayr al-Suryān) 的最重要的早期叙利亚语手稿 (mss.) 收藏。其最著名的手稿是叙利亚语 30 号 (Syr. 30)，即重写本 (palimpsest)《古叙利亚语福音书》(Old Syriac Gospels)（与该修道院许多如今位于西方图书馆的手稿 (mss.) 不同，这份手稿 (ms.) 仍留存于西奈 (Sinai)）。1975 年火灾后，发现了一个封闭的房间，里面有更多不同语言的残篇手稿 (fragmentary mss.)，包括叙利亚语。鉴于叙利亚修道院 (Dayr al-Suryān) 流传的是叙利亚正教 (Syr. Orth.) 手稿 (mss.)，圣凯瑟琳修道院 (St Catherine’s Monastery) 的手稿则几乎全是默基特 (Melkite) 派的。
