Yonan Codex

[mercy]

Shlama Mercy:
The Yonan Codex is on display at the Holy-Land Museum in Orlando, Florida. I was only able to acquire a few pages of the text, which I have transcribed and they are now on display at Dukhrana Biblical Research on the Yonan Codex page. Th..th...th...that's all, folks, at least for now!

The Yonan Codex is precisely the same as the Khabouris Codex, with one grammatical variant, at least for these 2 pages. The variant is the first word of John 7:5. There are two textual artifacts in 7:8 and 7:27. These are common in Peshiotta manuscripts and have to do with filling to the line as one does with the written value amount on a personal cheque, such as
"three thousand four hundred and fifty-three dollars-----------------xx". The Peshitta was written as a legal document would be so that nothing could be added in the space at the end of a line.
Enjoy.

Thanks, every word is important indeed,

I felt good about Khabouris Codex translation... <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s -->
