Debunking another Trimmism

[yuku]

shlomo Yuri,

In regards to "Tetraeuangelium", it actually confirms that the Peshitta is the same as it was before (Here's a quote from its introduction):

Pusey, Phillip E., and Gwilliam, George H., eds., 1901. TETRAEUANGELIUM SANCTUM

"Many years ago the late Philip Edward Pusey, son of the well-known Professor of Hebrew in the University of Oxford, began to collate ancient MSS. of the Peshitto, in order to test the accuracy of the printed Text, and to collect materials for a revision of it. The object of his researches was to discover whether the traditional text, first published by Widmanstadt, and reproduced with little variation by subsequent editors, might reasonably be considered to represent that of the ancient Syriac Church. In pursuit of this design he made careful collations of a large number of MSS., for the most part very ancient and valuable copies: some he collated throughout, others he examined in important passages."

Greetings, Abudar!

When the textual scholars say "collations", what this means is to collect textual variants from old manuscripts.

So what your quote means is that these scholars spent many years collecting interesting variants from a number of Peshitta manuscripts. (I can assure you they didn't collect spelling errors! <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s -->).

Thus, there are many variants in Peshitta manuscripts. See what I mean?

Best wishes,

Yuri.
