recent photos of the Khabouris manuscript

[Paul Younan]

Wanted to post these for some of the language gurus to see. My question is, can anyone find anything different with this than what is already brought down in the peshitta? Is this manuscript different than the other peshitta manuscripts???

Hi Akhi Dave,

Thanks for the link to the great photos!

We have the Khabouris available on the bookstore thanks to Akhan Dean's hard work. I use it in comparison with the modern printed version, and both he and I have been going over it line by line.

You'd be amazed - there are only very small spelling differences. Mostly things like spelling convention (things like "bar Nasha" for "Son of Man" vs. "Barnasha".......i.e., one word vs. two words spelled out).

Other than that, there are no differences at all that we've observed. The manuscript is 100% in agreement with what has come down to us in the modern printed versions.

They've been very very careful in the transmission of the text.
