The Perfect Peshitta Text

[*Albion*]

Shlama,

It's my opinion that this "perfect edition" of the P'shitta N.T. could NOT POSSIBLY exist in the WESTERN Peshitta text that Bauscher used.

It's simply NOT possible that ANY New Testament text that men have messed with, like the Western Syriac P'shitta text, could be a PERFECT EDITION, Authored by MarYah, of the P'shitta N.T.

I believe that Dave Bauscher believes this text exists (and that it's PERFECT), but his view of this is faulty, and is obviously biased.

And personally, I find his need to translate YHWH as "Jehovah", insulting.

Why not "Marya" or "MarYah"? I fail to understand this coming from a translator of a Syriac N.T.

Hello Otto,

Yes, I think it is important that people know this also, and I thank you for pointing it out.

I also think that the textual history of The Peshitta is rather unique and extraordinary. I do believe a good critical collation of the mss.
would and has produced a perfect edition of the original, unlike what exists for Greek mss., or even what exists for the Hebrew Tanach, for that matter, though I expect we can do better for the Hebrew than what has been done thus far.

Shlama Akhi David:
Could you make clear to the forum just how a good critical collation of the manuscripts would and has produced a perfect edition of the original.

Specifically, which manuscripts are you referring to?

Shlama,
Stephen
