AENT Errors

[Luc Lefebvre]

I know for the Aramaic text he just grabbed what was available for free use, but maybe he could try and get the Mosul edition of the Peshitta that's been transliterated into Hebrew characters already by the Bible Society in Israel?

What about the one posted by Younan for the 22 Books of the Eastern PeshittA:

That's the Western Peshitto, but a work in progress to make it more like the Eastern Peshitta. So, in other words, no different from Roth's text.

But then the text would need an in-depth run through to ensure that the English matched up with any small varients that may appear in this version compared to what was worked from in the past for Murdock's, Younan's and then his own translation.

Yes, a "word for word translation" so to speak. And hopefully by his Sixth Edition.

And he could stick with using the text he has for the Western 5 already.

Well, thinking about it, in the English it actually wouldn't make much difference. Maybe a few minor changes here and there, but nothing that would change the text as far as I understand (or have sen). It would just be cool for those of us who want to study the Aramaic text a little closer (although I have the Eastern Peshitta in Hebrew characters elsewhere).

Charles, how is your discussion relevant to errors in the AENT? You might want to start another thread for your discussion.
