The group might find this to be of both antiquarian and Aramaic interest: a 1640 edition of J. B. Buxtorf Lexicon chaldaicum, talmudicum et rabbinicum with...
I was hoping that someone could point me in the right direction with this request. I need the following 3 names (my children)translated into Tur Abdin Style...
I've sent Robert a private e-mail with the names written in Syriac as I wasn't sure on the group's policy on attachments. If anyone else would like to see the...
Huh?! I don't know where that website got there information from, but they're all lies. The oldest Peshitta manuscripts do not contain the so-called Didache ...
I am trying to locate and would really appreciate any help I could get on an Aramaic translation of the word Ephesians and the numbers 6:10- 18 as in...
Dear Jeramy, The Peshitta NT uses the word 'Efesāyē for Ephesians. Usually, numbers are written with letters in their numerical order, so 6 is Waw, 10 is Yod...
Thank you very much I really appreciate it. I have been looking at the Aramaic Alphabet and I have been trying to figure out how to use what you gave me and...
Thank you, Jack, for the link to your font resources. Seeing as we are talking New Testament, square script is anachronistic. The Peshitta New Testament is the...
No, Gareth. Square script is not anachronistic to New Testament/2nd temple Aramaic or Hebrew. It was the script used at the time of Jesus/Yeshua and in the...
No, Jack. An Aramaic Scripture did not exist at the time of "Jesus/Yeshua"; a letter to the Ephesians was translated into Syriac a couple of centuries after it...
This is a rather silly quibble. You are arguing that because the script was in use in Israel at the time of the NT it is proper to it. However, any kind of...
Peter, You seem so intent on disagreeing with everyone, but this time I'm trying to figure out precisely what your disagreement might be. That a trnaslation...
No, Peter. That's not what I was saying. Let me put it this way. If Jesus had written YOU a letter and put it in a time capsule (something like the Dead Sea...
Unfortunately Gareth's original question (and nothing else) has been deleted from the tail of this thread, but it was clear that he wanted to know how to write...
(a) Jesus didn't write that letter, Paul did (or is said to have done), some time after Jesus's death. (b) The letter to Ephesians was not "Scripture" at the...
If it was deleted (and it probably was) either you or Jack must have done so since you got back what I received with my added comment. I never said the Epistle...
Shalom wa-shlam! I was always taught that the Estrangela script was in limited use during the 1st centuruy CE, and that all archaeological evidence from that...
Just to clear up any questions about my original post I am working on a piece of art that uses the original form of the word Ephesians 6:10-18. In my...
I did not respond to the original query, so it wasn't I who deleted it. Are you suggesting that I don't know what 1QIs^a looks like? Are you suggesting that a...
The earliest (pre-Christian!) Syriac inscriptions (see the Drijvers-Healey corpus in the HdO) are Estrangelo, i.e. a cursive "national" hand distinct from...
If Ephesians had been written by Paul and if Paul wrote it in Aramaic, he would have used an Herodian style Square Script... alef-peh-samekh-yod-alef... and he...
