27 books mentioned in Nestorian tablet (?)

[Sami Rabia]

Shlama all,

I have a detailed picture of a rubbing of the monument on my computer at home. When I get off work I can try to post that, although it's 4MB, maybe too big, or I can just cut out the relevant pieces.

Thanks that would be good, but can anyone here read Chinese?

This is an image I found on google

This site has another translation:
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/eastasia/781nestorian.html">http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/eastasia ... orian.html</a><!-- m -->
Their translation read's
Twenty-seven sacred books [the number in the New Testament] have been left, which disseminate intelligence by unfolding the original transforming principles

This quote is also interesting
and Persians observing the splendor came to present tribute; the ancient dispensation, as declared by the twenty-four holy men [the writers of the Old Testament]
