Why doesnt the AENT use the Crawford Aramaic? - rungold315 - 01-14-2011

Sorry, this will be my last question on here and only thought of this once I saw a few and remembered another few posts from before. I remember the Crawford was supported by Dave B. so well that I was surprised Mr. Roth wouldnt use it. I remember I asked him once but cant remember what he said. Im still using my AENT to "correct" my NKJV do I can still read a normal bible but make note of the Aramaic primacisms, if you will. I remember Rev. 9:11, the Crawford uses the word "in Aramaic" but the Harklean uses the words "in Greek".

Isnt that a great pointer to an original, or am I just too simple to understand the complexity behind Revelation and its supposed origins?

Does G. Roth answer questions regarding EANT here?

As for the crawford issue.
I believe that history and tradition especially stasis also applies to Aramaic Bible-translators.

The crawford codex is a very young find and nearly no scientists did research on it.
