Great day everyone,
My current understanding is that the earliest manuscripts of the Peshitta date back to the 4th century. I have seen numerous pieces of evidence to suggest that Peshitta dates back to much earlier, and I'm wondering if anyone would be willing (or has) assembled a list of evidence that could neatly be used to argue the antiquity of the Peshitta to the earliest date.
If this has already been done, pardon my request, and please direct me to where. However, it would be nice to have a concise and neat arrangement of evidence to show that Peshitta goes back much early than the 300's CE. Thanks so much,
Thomas
