Greetings all,
I've heard from some that the Eastern Peshitta manuscripts agree remarkably and have few variants. How do you know? Have you compared the supposed 350 manuscripts with each other? Is there a definitive study that has been done between them? More so, how can we (I) view the manuscripts to study and count the variants for myself?
I trust that the answer must be out there, and I would greatly, greatly appreciate answers from those who have this information (Paul Y., etc.) Please kindly point me to manuscripts that fit within the Eastern tradition, so that I can study them.
For instance, I find manuscripts like this (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.schoyencollection.com/bible-collection-foreword/other-bible-translation/syriac-bible/syriac-new-testament-ms-2080">http://www.schoyencollection.com/bible- ... nt-ms-2080</a><!-- m -->) and like this (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://goodspeed.lib.uchicago.edu/ms/index.php?doc=0716">http://goodspeed.lib.uchicago.edu/ms/index.php?doc=0716</a><!-- m -->). Are these Eastern manuscripts? Can you point me to accessible Eastern manuscripts?
Grace and peace,
Thomas
