The earliest most original gospel ie. the Peshitta

[Paul Younan]

Dear Paul,

I did not expect the CoE version of the Peshitta to have the Western five as do the assyrianmarket.com editions. I assumed they were Peshitto texts. What am I missing?

Hey Otto,

The five books are indeed included in modern printed versions, with a short explanation at the beginning of each one that they are not part of the original manuscripts of the Peshitta, and were translated from the Greek. Additionally, they are not read from during the service, but are there for the edification and personal study of the faithful.
