Yes, some months ago. Nice site. But the banner looks like greek, no? <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/poketoungeb.gif" alt="" title="Poke Tounge" /><!-- s -->

Interesting story behind that. About a century ago, the only manuscripts that were in the hands of western scholars were Greek, then guess what happened? A quaker who traveled in Iraq and collected manuscripts came upon one he obtained from the CoE found the original Aramaic odes on his bookshelf years later. I have a copy of them here at home.

After a thorough examination J. Rendel Harris (the discoverer) and other scholars now believe they found the Aramaic behind the Greek.
