Quote:The manuscript carries excerpts of the Bible written in gold lettering on leather and loosely strung together

This is certainly a good news.

Great news. I wonder when we are going to be given access to it. Ive not seen a gold lettered Peshitta before

Fantastic news. What I especially like is how within the text they mention "they believe the manuscript in the bible could be about 1500 to 2000 years old". I'm very curious to see what the actual date is if it could indeed be as old as projected. It'd be great if it pre-dated the earliest Greek codexes.

Shlama,


a fellow at another forum i visit noticed that one of the pages is the end of Mattai from the Peshitta -- kinda blurry/smudged but definitely a match.

i am kinda hesitant on ancient authenticity here -- i thought Swadaya script was developed around the Middle Ages. am i wrong or could this be against a possible first century dating?


Chayim b'Moshiach,

Is this the same book as the one in the YouTube videos posted in the following thread from a couple years back?

According to a couple of the comments on that page, it's a little over 500 years old:

Quote:the last line reads :?pshet alpa o khmshama al maran? and that means was written 1500AD
and even it mention that it was written in Nineveh ( Mosul)

Quote:The writing at the bottom is readable. And according to that, the Book is not 1500 years old. It is rather written in the year 1500. It also says it is written by monks in a Monestary in Ninveh, which is today?s Mosul, Iraq. So it is obvious that this book belongs to the Assyrian Church of the East.

I'd be more interested in seeing the rest of the manuscript. It's very common to have worn-out pages replaced at later periods. Meaning, the rest of the manuscript can be older than the front few pages (as those tended to get more worn over the centuries).
