Proof of Peshitta's antiquity

[Andrew Gabriel Roth]

Shlama Akhi Andrew,

Where can I get a copy of this book??? Also, I remember reading somewhere that conventional scholarship practically blacklisted a scholar in the early 1900's for proclaiming Peshitta originality, and then said that he, and he alone, was borderline crazy for espousing such a doctrine. Is this the guy????

Here's the 'Scholarly Reprints' website where this can be found...

Under 'Ancient Biblical Versions, you'll find this entry...

Norton, William. A Translation in English Daily Used, of the Peshito-Syriac Text, and of the Received Greek Text, of Hebrews, James, I Peter and I John. 1889. 180 pp. Introduction and comparisons. #1339. $20.

As to whether or not this is the guy who is supposed to be so crazy for being an Aramaic primacist at the turn of the previous century....I dunno, but the 'shoe might fit' since this was written in 1889. <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s -->

AKHI LARRY, GREAT WEBSITE! I AM GOING TO GET A COPY!

FROM THE SAME RESOURCE THOUGH LOOK AT THIS:

Burkitt, F. Crawford. Evangelion Da-Mepharreshe. 1904. 2 vols: 556, 322 large pp. Syriac text of the Curetonian version of the Old Syriac, with variants of the Sinaitic palimpsest, English translation, notes, introduction. 1281. $90.

AMAZING. THE PROOF OF OLD SYRIAC AS RABULLA'S WORK WAS RIGHT UNDER BURKITT'S NOSE ALSO, AND HE DID NOT SEE IT. HOW COULD HE POSSIBLY THINK, EVEN AS A GUESS FOR A SECOND, THAT THE SEPARATED GOSPELS WERE THE PESHITTA TEXT?

SOMEONE WAS LYING DOWN ON THE JOB!!!
