Amid the high mountains of Egypt's southern Sinai Peninsula stands Jebel Musa, "Mount Moses," revered by most Christians and Muslims as Mount Sinai. (Jewish tradition holds that Mount Sinai should remain terra incognita, unlocated, and does not associate it with this mountain.) In this fascinating study, Joseph Hobbs draws on geography and archaeology, Biblical and Quranic accounts, and the experiences of people ranging from Christian monks to Bedouin shepherds to casual tourists to explore why this mountain came to be revered as a sacred place and how that very perception now threatens its fragile ecology and its sense of holy solitude. After discussing the physical characteristics of Jebel Musa and the debate that selected it as the most probable Mount Sinai, Hobbs fully describes all Christian and Muslim sacred sites around the mountain. He views Mount Sinai from the perspectives of the centuries-long inhabitants of the region—the monks of the Monastery of St. Katherine and the Jabaliya Bedouins—and of tourists and pilgrims, from medieval Europeans to modern travelers dispirited by Western industrialization. Hobbs concludes his account with the recent international debate over whether to build a cable car on Mount Sinai and with an unflinching description of the negative impact of tourism on the delicate desert environment. His book raises important, troubling questions for everyone concerned about the fate of the earth's wild and sacred places.

Parmi les 1100 manuscrits découverts au Sinaï en 1975 figurent deux codex géorgiens, N Sin 13 et Sin 55, entièrement palimpsestes. La couche inférieure conserve les deux seuls témoins connus de la littérature udi, idiome de l’ancien royaume albanien du Caucase. Copiés au VIIe s., semble-t-il, ces palimpsestes albaniens révèlent l’un, un texte lacunaire de l’Évangile de Jean émaillé, en marge, de six annotations liturgiques et de tirets renvoyant peut-être aux sections eusébiennes et à un lecture continue de Jean au Temps pascal ; l’autre, une compilation désordonnée de péricopes bibliques provenant presque toutes d’une traduction d’un lectionnaire grec de Jérusalem des années 450-614. Sous-jacent à cette compilation, dont le but reste obscur, apparaît un authentique lectionnaire liturgique albanien qui a pu être utilisé en Albanie du Caucase dès après 450. Ce document est caractérisé par le souci d’atténuer une dépendance, non seulement vis-à-vis du lectionnaire hiérosolymitain, mais aussi par rapport aux lectionnaires arménien et géorgien fidèles à la tradition hagiopolite. La compilation du second palimpseste répond-elle à l’intention de composer par la suite un lectionnaire albanien encore plus distinct des textes jérusalémite, arménien et géorgien, l’Église albanienne ayant souvent manifesté à l’égard des Églises arménienne et géorgienne un désir d’autonomie, voire même d’autocéphalie ? Ce document albanien enrichit notre connaissance de l’antiquité chrétienne.

In the ancient Near East, where cosmos and cult were of a piece, temples were the architectural embodiment of the cosmic mountain. This monograph explores how the mountain narratives of the Hebrew Bible canonically preceding the establishment of the tabernacle cultus may therefore serve to prefigure that cultus. Examining the creation, deluge, and exodus accounts in light of cosmic mountain ideology, the study develops a cosmogonic pattern of being delivered through the waters to the mountain of God for worship. As a symbol for approaching the divine Presence, this pattern is ultimately cultic, and includes a gate liturgy running as an undercurrent through each narrative. Moses alone, for example, is permitted ascent to the summit of Sinai, a role later mimicked by the high priest’s annual entrance into the holy of holies. From Adam’s descent of the holy mountain to the high priest’s “ascent” of the architectural mountain of God, The Tabernacle Pre-Figured makes a compelling case that to dwell in the divine Presence via the tabernacle cultus presents a mediated return to the original telos of the cosmos.
