Best way to learn Syriac for cheap or free?
#20
Now we are getting somewhere, Steve. <!-- sSmile --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smile.gif" alt="Smile" title="Smile" /><!-- sSmile -->

We see then, that NO, you don't have The Peshitta on your site. Nor, are your GD interpolations coming from its text. I told you I had read through your website before but couldn't find The Peshitta text anywhere on it and the reason is.... it isn't there.

What I DO see there though, in the apparatus, is this text:
"Syriac Gospel according to Mark, text as per British Foreign Bible Society edition courtesy of George A. Kiraz."

No...that isn't The Peshitta text, Steve, as you must know...it differs in many places from The Peshitta's text, with a number of added verses and 5 added books, which were never present in The Peshitta text as it originally existed, it also has many spelling variations of places and persons to what they were originally given as.

Also, your statements here below from your Matthew comments section, are telling.

Oommen,
There are several versions ?in Aramaic? that exist (several in Syriac and several in Christian Palestinian Aramaic), but I have neither of those in any readily email-able format. You can read one of the Syriac versions (the Peshitta) online here: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://dukhrana.com/peshitta/">http://dukhrana.com/peshitta/</a><!-- m -->, however Syriac is a very different dialect than that which Jesus spoke and is not the base form that I am using for my work here.

Peace,
-Steve

Steve, The Peshitta IS The Aramaic New Testament, Period....while all other NT texts that exist in Aramaic, are versions of its original, one of a kind text. There is only one Peshitta text featured at Dukhrana.com...and it isn't the USB/BFBS version that you use, nor the SP or the C versions of the Gospels, which have been recently added for comparison.
