The Perfect Peshitta Text
#2
Shlama Akhi Otto,

I am pretty sure David said he was using the 1905 (aka 1920) Critical Edition as was compiled by the British and Foreign Bible Society. This is the same Aramaic NT text that is used in the "Red Book" (Aramaic New Covenant Peshitta Text with Hebrew Translation--editions 1 and 2) and the "Blue Book" (COE/SOC combined edition). There is only one such Peshitta standardized text for both the 22 and the Western 5.

I am not taking this approach in Mari/PEACE but am instead restoring original Eastern readings in places like--but not confined to--Acts 20:28 and Hebrews 2:9. I have annotated extensively the difference in readings between Khabouris and 1905 and also Khabouris and other Eastern peshitta mss. In almost every case, these variants are insiginificant, but my goal is to provide the reader with enough comparitive analysis so they can make up their own mind in terms of what reading they prefer. I have also restored the more ancient and reliable Aramaic readings on the Western 5 as well, and explain the methodology throughout so there are no surprises.

And for those here who may be curious, we are hoping to get final layout proofs this week, but since I feel worried that I let some folks down with not making the previous deadline I am hesitant to give a date for the physical delivery. Stay tuned on that.

Shlama w'burkate
