This jointly written article provides a preliminary description of a Christian Arabic manuscript, today preserved at St Catherine’s monastery. MS Sinai—Arabic 2 exhibits ancient Arabic versions of the Pentateuch and Daniel. A codicological and palaeographical study of this unique manuscript is presented, along with an investigation into the respective provenances, textual affinities and translation techniques of the two translations.
