Debunking another Trimmism

[yuku]

Shlama Akhi Yuri,

We missed you as well. Welcome back and don't be a stranger.

Thank you, Akhi Paul!

If you re-read my statements, I said that "all existing Peshitta manuscripts agree." I did not say that the "Peshitta and Peshitto manuscripts agree."

Yes, I'm well aware of the difference between Peshitta and Peshitto.

But even if we're talking only about the Peshitta manuscripts, still there are significant variants among them, as is easy to verify from the Pusey/Gwilliam edition.

From the textual perspective, the Peshitta textual tradition is generally quite similar to the Byzantine Greek textual tradition. Both of these traditions are generally quite homogeneous, but this certainly doesn't mean that they are totally and completely homogeneous.

Certainly no supporter of the Byzantine text, while defending the priority of Byzantine text, claims that this a totally homogeneous textual tradition.

All the best,

Yuri.
