It is just the Gospels though, and its from 548 A.D. looks like, so some time after the split. Do you know if this would be an Eastern or Western Manuscript?
If it is digitized, Heal would certainly know how to get his hands on it. <!-- s

I would like to see a list of these 70 or so readings said to be "old syriac" readings, to see what they might be dealing with. It seems to be in the Berlin Royal Library.
Remember that the earliest "full-length" Peshitta we have is dated ~534 AD. Everything before the 6th century we have are sets of Gospels or fragments.

I had the pleasure of meeting Juckel at the first Hygoye Symposium where he was showing off some of his work on dating Peshitta manuscripts (of which skill I would call him an authority). I haven't read that particular article, however, so once I have some time to sit down and read it I'll share my thoughts. <!-- s
