Peshitta Manuscript

[Phil]

Shlama Akhi Phil:
I have verified that each one of these examples given are unique to both the Khabouris Codex as well as the Crawford Codex Vis-a-vis the 1905 UBS. Also, this manuscript follows the UBS in Matthew 1:6. The Khabouris is unique with a proclitic Vav in the second use of Dawid.

Shlama,

And there is a lot of more similaritys. Right now I'm comparing Khabouris' Mark with this manuscript and they are identical <!-- shocked: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/shocked.gif" alt="hocked:" title="Shocked" /><!-- shocked: --> (see folio 64 r).

BTW: I don't know why I'm calling this a Manuscript, if it is a printed book <!-- s:tellme: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/tellme.gif" alt=":tellme:" title="Tell Me" /><!-- s:tellme: -->
