Armenian NT translated fr. Peshitta before Peshitta existed!

[gbausc]

Shlama Paul,

Burkitt merely conjectured that Rabbula created The Peshitta. It has been in vogue for over a century now to discredit the Peshitta's 1900 year + antiquity in order to support Greek NT primacy. It really is tiresome to read, since no authority exits for these so called revisions and recensions. They are groundless and conflict with the known facts, such as the above and the 4th century quotations of Aphraates of The Peshitta NT verbatim in many places where the "Old Syriac" differs from it.

Paul Younan has documented these on this web site quite a while back. Check it out on Aramaic Primacy.
Since the date of the Armenian translation from The Peshitta has been fixed at 411, Burkitt's theory cannot stand. These Greek primacists won't do their homework.
If they would, they would become Peshitta primacists.

Burktha,
