Question for Andrew Roth
#2
Shlama Akhi Otto,

A bit of clarification on the Mosul edition. Mosul is of course the modern name of ancient Nineveh, actually the modern town is across the river from the ruins of Nineveh. About 500 years ago, the Roman Catholic Church began proselytizing among the Assyrian Christians who belonged to the Church of the East. Today that branch is in communion with the Roman Catholic Church, and they call themselves "Chaldeans" or the "Chaldean Catholic Church."

One of the main centers of learning and publication for the Chaldean Catholic Church, who follow the Pope of Rome, is Mosul. The "Mosul" text that was printed in 1905 is a product of this community that was formerly part of the Church of the East, but which today is part of the Roman Catholic Church. Since their conversion to Roman Catholicism, they have obviously had to make numerous changes to their scriptural canon, liturgy and patrimony. Including the "Western 5" is part of that, hence the 1905 Mosul edition.

The 22 books are the same as the Peshitta in use by the original line of the Church of the East, but they have included the 5 books translated from the Greek by Philoxenus and Thomas of Harkel.
