Philoxenus?
#1
Hi all,

I recently read that Philoxenus said he did his translation because the original translation from Greek into Syriac was flawed? Huh? Was he making that up? Did he not know the history of the Peshitta? Was he politically motivated? I've searched the site and can't find any previous discussion. No I'm not attacking Peshitta primacy, just wondering what to do with this Philoxenus comment.
thanks in advance,

Currently working on my masters looking at influence of St Isaac the Syrian and others on early Sufi thinking and practice. Now seriously considering doing my PhD on St Ephrem's or Aprahat's use of scripture :-)

in Christ,
Fr. John D'Alton
