Juckel's study

[yuku]

Shlama Akhi Yuri,

[snip]

I found 2 quotes for you (Ency. Britannica and Juckel) that slam western (SOC) textual integrity, quotes which state in no uncertain terms that the textual history of the Peshitto was revisionary, rather than conservatory, in nature.

Shlama Akhi Paul,

I'm not trying to deny that Peshitto is somewhat closer to the Greek than the Peshitta. This is pretty obvious, because the Peshitto includes some parts of the NT that are also in the Greek, but not in the Peshitta.

But if closeness to the Greek is "bad", in such a case the Old Syriac must be the best, because it's the furthest from the Greek.

All the best,

Yuri.
