Shlama Akhi Paul,
The Psalms in The Syriac UBS version each and all have Christian references to the church and Messiah, spiritual meanings, etc., after the more traditional Jewish notes and background. They do not strike me as marginal notes, but rather as a part of the tradition of an original introduction for each Psalm which presumably started with the Hebrew scribes.
Anyhow, it would be good if we could get something definitive for an early date for the Peshitta OT; I think it would provide a strong link to an first century date for the NT Peshitta if we could show a first century Christian authorship for The OT translation.
I do not mean to slight the CoE position. I am concerned more with validating their position on The NT date than with a pre-Christian OT.
How's my translation ?
Blessings,
Dave B
