by from fourteen to eighteen hundred in breadth. Still, the er-Rahah of Robinson better fulfils the conditions of the narrative. With Robinson, Tischendorf locates Rephidim in Wadi Scheich.
Chapters IX, X, and XI are devoted to a minute account of the discovery of the famous manuscript of the Holy Scriptures, and the measures taken to secure it for the Christian world. But all this interesting as the story is from the enthusiastic style of the narrator, as well as from the intrinsic value of the discovery is too familiar to be here repeated. Returning to Cairo, Tischendorf set out for another tour of inspection among the convents of Palestine. At Jaffa, he had the good fortune to attach himself to the caravan of the Grand-Duke Constantine, of Russia; and during his stay in Jerusalem he attended with that functionary a high mass in the church of the Holy Sepulchre. He devotes a chapter to the question of the holy places, giving a useful résumé of the evidences for the genuineness of the site which tradition has assigned to Golgotha and the sepulchre. His account of the literary remains in the several convents which he visited On his is, however, of more value than his topographical discussions. return to Europe Tischendorf visited the convent of John in the island of Patmos.
