Peshitta In e-Sword
#1
Dear akhay,

A few years ago I thought of buying Logos Bible Software but I am glad that I decided to wait as they don't have the Peshitta. Until now they still don't have the Peshitta as can be seen from http://www.logos.com/scholars Very sad.

Now there is no doubt that BibleWorks 6 is the best software available for scholars as they have Aramaic Peshitta with Murdock's English translation. http://www.bibleworks.com/new.html

However, the price is quiet expensive for someone like me who already has many expensive reference works in book form. That is why I found that it is not necessary for someone like me who has exhausted his resources to buy books on Biblical studies to add the tools into his library.

e-sword created by our kind brother Rick Meyers has been really helpful to me in my studies. It is a great software! And it is FREE! I can't believe it. Therefore, I would like to urge fellow Aramaic enthusiasts out there who can't afford BibleWorks 6* to write a feedback to Rick Meyers requesting him to include Syriac Bible in e-sword together with the New Testament translations of James Murdock & John Wesley Etheridge and if possible the Aramaic Targum as well.

http://www.e-sword.net/feedback.html

Perhaps the owner of this http://www.peshitta.com/ could help Rick with the database of Murdock & Etheridge's translations.

I hope that one day the finished work of Paul Younan will be included in Logos, BibleSoftware & e-Sword softwares as the interlinear Aramaic NT could aid scholars more than the numerous English translations out there offered by these softwares.

Thank you for your co-operation.



*If you can afford BibleWorks 6 then just do me a big favor will you by asking Rick to include the above works into e-Sword. Can you imagine that he has many versions of the Bible available for free downloading at his great site but not the original Aramaic New Testament? <!-- s:biggrin: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/biggrin.gif" alt=":biggrin:" title="Big Grin" /><!-- s:biggrin: -->

Shlama Akhi Dan Gan,

I have a lot of e-Sword downloads on my computer. It's a very handy application.
The Sword Project has a transliterated Peshitta and James Murdock's translation as well as the BHS text (Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia), Aleppo Codex, JPS O. T. (Jewish Publication Society Old Testament), and a host of other nice downloads.
If you don't mind a Peshitta text in Hebrew characters (instead of Eastern Estrangelo script), then the Online Bible Millenium Edition is what you're looking for.

Hope this helps!

Shlama, Larry Kelsey

Thanks for recommending The Sword project. However, I still prefer e-Sword.

Does anyone happen to know if the Aramaic version in Bibleworks 6.0 is the Peshitto or the Peshitta?

Since it has Murdock's translation, my presumption is that it is the Peshitto and not the Peshitta (despite their advertisement that it's the Peshitta).
