Modern scholarship
#1
I've been scouring the forum to see if a list like this already exists.  I couldn't find one.  What's the flow of modern aramaic primacy scholars over the past few centuries?  There are some names who wouldn't necessarily be 100% aramaic primacy, but they are awfully close to it.

1800's:
Murdock
Etheridge
Norton
Lewis

1900's:
Torrey
Burkitt
Burney
Lamsa

2000's:
?

Mid 1900's to current I'm not very familiar with where the scholarship has gone.  I know that Greek primacy has always dominated but it seems like the subject can not even be brought up anymore seeking honest answers.  For example, I once joined James White's discussion board and asked what the views were on Aramaic primacy.  I was banned within 3 minutes.  I once sent Dr. Dan Wallace an email asking about the same thing.  He was generous with his time to reply back to me and very gracious with his reply but still stating 100% disagreement with the premise.

I'm righteously disgusted with my education gaining a degree at a Bible college 30 years ago.  The fact that there even existed the New Testament in aramaic wasn't even brought up.  The college also had a divinity school so there was a substantial library which I spent much time in.  No where did I come across what you can find on this present forum.  The books of the 19th century scholars were "hidden" until only recently with Google's scanning project.  I guess it's just the fact that now is the appointed time for this to be more widely known.
