Thanks, Andrew, for your clear restatement of your approach. I have a few followup questions.
What is the physical source of your Harkalean-Peshitto Aramaic text of Revelation? Is there an electronic copy available on the web or elsewhere?
I think that the 1905-20 British and Foreign Bible Society (London) New Testament text is a somewhat diffeent version of the Peshitto from the SOC approved version, especially in that it uses the Crawford Text of Revelation. Am I correct?
I think that the ONLINE BIBLE Aramaic text of the "Peshitta" is propably identical to the 1905-20 BFBS version. I think that it is the version that Dave Bauscher used for his translation because the electronic version that he got with his "Codemaker" computer program was probably the ONLINE BIBLE version and he convinced himself that it was the "perfect" text because of his Bible Code explorations. He wrote that the true Aramaic version of Revelation has exactly 28,113 Aramaic characters! Am I correct in these areas of thought? Have you looked at the ONLINE BIBLE "Peshitta"?
I think that the SOC approved Peshitto is found in UBS (1979) and UBS (1988). I have a copy of UBS (1979) and it contains 39 Old Testanment books and 27 New Tesstament books and has the seal and impramatur of the "Syrian Patriarchate of Antioch and All the East (Damascus-Syria)". Presumably these are the same as the 1887-91 MosuI version. I assume that these have the Harkalean Revelation. Am I correct?
I would appreciate your help in sorting this out so that I can better understand the textual basis of the various versions of the Peshitta/Peshitto.
Sincerely,
Otto
