Does anyone have any more news about this version?
Would she be closer to the original? If so, why? If not, why? Does anyone have more information on it?
Shlama Akhi Ben:
The Mingana Codex (Syriac 148) has been called the New Testament Eastern Peshitta Masorah, because of its well written, accurate representation of the Eastern Peshitta. It differs little fom the Khabouris Codex. Moreover, it has scribal notes, including a complete list and origin of the 70 other Apostles who were sent out. The text was written by at least one master scribe, for its consistency of letter formation in the East Adiabene textual script. It's much easier reading than the Khabouris Codex. The Mingana Codex was hand written in the 17th Century. The Mingana is as close to the orignal Peshitta as is the Khabouris Codex.
