Remarks in the Khabouris manuscript margin

Yep. It would give me dyspepsia. So back to the topic of the Khabouris:

Is The Khabouris Codex The Aramaic New Testament? If you don't think so, what do you say it is then?

The Khabouris Codex is an exemplary copy of the Eastern Peshitta, no more and no less. The Peshitta is an Aramaic New Testament tradition -- along with the others I have mentioned. It doesn't have any sort of monopoly on this title, as it's descriptive, not prescriptive.

It's a New Testament. It's in Syriac Aramaic. It's an Aramaic New Testament. Fairly straightforward. Opining over it otherwise is to don the kilt. <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s -->

The fact that it's now in Hobby Lobby's hands is lamentable. I'd more like to discuss those implications.

Peace,
