Peshitta picture - Craig - 11-07-2003

Shlama Paul,

Do you still have the picture of th CoE priest holding the Peshitta, and if so do you know if it is copyrighted? Because, if it is public domain, I'd like to use it in the page below:

If you want a higher-resolution pic (larger image), I think I have it at home. Let me know.

Shlama Akhi Paul,

Who is this priest? What is the source of the picture, it is from a book? Can you post it in a better resolution?

Thanks

Phil

Amazing picture.

I heard it was customary that Priests would not actually touch the Peshitta but in reverence would hold it with their garments.

hemShlama Robert:
This custom is also practiced in the synagogue with the Torah in a slightly different way. The Torah scroll is paraded before the Torah reading and one will reach out and touch the scroll as it passes his way with the tzitzit (hem) of his talit and then kiss the
tzitzit out of reverence for the WORD of Alaha (Elohim).

Thank you for that information Stephen, it's truly amazing and inspiring the kind reverence previous generations had.
