AWESOME!
Phil and Ivan...and Shamasha Paul...that Manuscript Houghton MS Syriac 4, is none other than the one given to the English Missionary Dr. Grant, who went among the Assyrian's in the mid 1800s, who spoke to the leaders of The Church of the East, who gave him that copy of their NT. You don't get anymore Eastern Peshitta than this!
And, though it has some damage here and there, it looks to be all there? A very rare example of a complete Eastern Aramaic Peshitta Manuscript.
And to make it even better...you can both view it online, OR get your very own copy in PDF for FREE... I just did so, it was just one click and it was sent directly to my email box. Now I/we can print it out if I/we want to.
Thank you Akhi Phil for sharing that link...I might not have seen it otherwise.
Blessings,
Chuck
