An important quote from William Wright:
![[Image: books?id=OH0iAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA19&img=1&zoom...604&edge=0]](http://books.google.com/books?id=OH0iAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA19&img=1&zoom=3&hl=en&sig=ACfU3U0BHWF2XBeSWrjnXQ2xRqI-dS_guA&ci=128%2C415%2C674%2C604&edge=0)
An excerpt from page 19 of the book "A short history of Syriac Literature", which can be found here: http://books.google.com/books?id=OH0iAAAAMAAJ&oe=UTF-8
So as you can see, the "Nestorian" Patriarch Mar Aba tried to introduce a new revision in the middle of the 6th century, to replace the "Old Peshitta" - which was "obstinately adhered to". If it was "old" in the 500s, how old exactly ?
BTW, I love the "utter failure" part. <!-- s
