Dear Bill Warren and Earl Kellet: ... This is very unfortunate, because this is clearly the more critical matter that I have brought to this list. Sometimes...
Dear Mr. Snapp, I downloaded J.Rendel Harris' book "The Diatressaron of Tatian-A Preliminary Study". Thank you for putting this valuable resource in the Files...
... I am puzzled why you would make such a bold and clearly false assertion. Sinaiticus cannot possibly be "the Exemplar" for Vaticanus because the texts are...
Greetings Asher/Albion: Yes; I think the Peshitta is an interesting and valuable witness, and that in Mark, when it agrees with A and Pi and disagrees with the...
Dear Mr. Snapp, I just wanted to ask you what is your opinion of the 'Peshitta Primacy' movement? That is, the theory that the Syriac N.T. PRE-DATES the Greek...
I made some maps of various Syriac versions based on the UBS4 apparatus of Hebrews: http://gamma.ei.virginia.edu/tfinney/NTText/book/syr.html Best Tim Finney...
Hi Albion and friends, Greetings. Not too long ago I did check the Peshitta on about 180 major variants between the Textus Receptus text (represented by the...
Perhaps you could publish your test passages and results, or at least tell where one might examine the data. Ron Minton...

Hi Folks, I agree that this is true about a few of very significant variants, that there is agreement with the Alexandrian text and the Peshitta. In addition...
Steven, I am no authority on the Syriac New Testament. But I think you might respect F. H. A. Scrivener, so here are some tidbits from Scrivener: A Plain...
Hi Folks, Thank you David. Most all of what Scrivener says here is complementary to what I shared. David Robert Palmer - "Of this version again [Peshitto]...
(((((((((((((((((((((((((( This is a matter of great debate. If the Syriac Peshitta is largely based on an early enough translation to Syriac it demolishes by...

... How did you do your study when, as you've admitted elsewhere, that you read neither Greek nor Syriac? Jeffrey Gibson -- Jeffrey B. Gibson, D.Phil. (Oxon) ...
Well of course, you really can't do a study like this without being able to read the original languages. Using the KJV as a respresentation of the Byzantine...

Hi Folks, Steven Avery ... 180 variants are cases where there are ... Alexandrian text. idou747 When you talk about the Alexandrian text, are you talking about...
Steven, I see nothing particulary designed to impugn you in what Jeffrey wrote. It was a simple, logical question in view of the fact that you have admitted...
I don't know if this discussion leads to anything. We all know that Sy-P is about 75-80% Byzantine. The dispute is about the DATE of the version. Unless you...

Out of lurk mode for a two quick question: On pages 169-170 of Bart Ehrman's book, 'Misquoting Jesus' we read the following: "It is interesting to note,...
Hi Folks, Wieland Willker - I don't know if this discussion leads to anything. Hi Wieland, That is a big question in itself. Personally I think having the ...
I agree. The field of textual criticism just isn't for monolingual people. If two manuscripts have two different but synonymous words, that's a significant...

Dear Albion, My view is that all of the books of the NT were originally written in Greek. However, research into Aramaic and Syriac forms of the text are...
The entire "oldest MSS" theory does not stand the test of sound reason. Why is it "so well" intact? Do your "well-used" Bibles stay "well intact" over long...
Dear Matt: Maybe, since Lk. 24:51b appears in Sinaiticus as an addition (it appears in the upper margin), the intended meaning was something more like, "Even a...
