The Microfilming Projects at Mount Sinai and Jerusalem
الوصف:
Under the shadow of Gebel Musa in Sinai, which rises to the height of 7,500 feet above sea level, is the ancient Monastery of St. Catherine. This Greek Orthodox retreat nestles in the sandy wadi in grand isolation from the world, within the security of high, strong walls erected for its protection against Moslem attacks in former centuries. Since the triumphant days of the Holy Roman Empire, the Christian recluse has found his way hither in great numbers.
