	JUCKEL: A Re-examination of Codex Phillipps 1388
		According to Black it was this earlier Peshitta text (the ‘pre-Peshitta, i.e., the Old Syriac basis of the Syriac Vulgate’12) Rabbula introduced by revising the ‘Old Syriac’ Gospels.
		While the ‘Old Syriac’ manuscripts and most of the Peshitta manuscripts of the Pusey/Gwilliam volume are defective, a considerable part of the latter is only collated in part13.
		The complexity of the development is given by the influence of the ‘Old Syriac’, the Diatessaron and the Greek, which is tracable in the early Peshitta Gospel manuscripts.

	Syriac Translations of the Bible: Evangelion Dampharshe (The Old Syriac Translation)
		The Old Syriac is known in Syriac as Evangelion Dampharshe meaning 'Gospel of the Separated [Evangelists]', in order to distinguish it from the Diatessaron, 'Gospel of the Mixed'.
		The original translation of the Old Syriac is lost, but we are fortunate to have two lacunous manuscripts which represent two different stages of the revisions: the Sinaiticus palimpsest and the Curetonianus manuscript.
		Unlike the Diatessaron, the Old Syriac version was unknown to scholarship, not to mention the Syriac Church itself, until the discovery of two manuscripts.

	Syriac Versions of the Bible, by Thomas Nicol
		The Old Testament known to the early Syrian church was substantially that of the Palestinian Jews.
		Most of the apocryphal books of the Old Testament are found in the Syriac, and the Book of Sirach is held to have been translated from the Hebrew and not from the Septuagint.
		Such quotations as are found in other extant remains of Syriac literature before the 5th century bear a greater resemblance to the readings of the Curetonian and the Sinaitic than to the readings of the Peshitta.

	WILLIAMS: Review of J. Wilson's The Old Syriac Gospels
		They contain the fine text of the Old Syriac produced by George Kiraz and it is to be hoped that this publication will encourage further study of these important documents.
		The chief support for this is sought in the wording of Old Testament quotations found in the Old Syriac Gospels, which the author gives the impression of listing completely, though a number of important quotations are not considered (Matthew 3.3, 9.13, Mark 1.2—3, 4.12).
		The author argues that similarities between the Old Syriac and the Masoretic Text must indicate direct dependence of the Old Syriac on the Masoretic Text.

	Syriac Translations of the Bible
		As for the New Testament, the earliest form used in the early Syriac Church is known in Syriac as Evangelion Damhalte which means 'Gospels of the Mixed'.
		However, the ancient Syriac church which used this translation named it in Syriac Evangelion Dampharshe which means 'Gospels of the Separated' in order to distinguish it from 'Gospel of the Mixed'.
		The Old Syriac is a 'free' translation from the Greek text; it is 'free' in the sense that the translators paraphrased the text in order to make it as clear as possible to the native Syriac reader.

	Versions of the New Testament
		The Old Church Slavonic was translated primarily for liturgical use, so it should not be surprising that lectionary manuscripts are common, and that manuscripts of the Apocalypse (which is not used in the lectionary) are rare.
		The history of the Syriac versions probably begins with the Diatessaron, the gospel harmony which Tatian compiled (in Greek or Syriac) in the second half of the second century.
		No Syriac manuscripts of the version survive, and we have no more than a small fragment of the Greek (in the Dura parchment 0212, a gospel harmony thought by some to be Diatessaric, though the most recent editors think otherwise).

		The earliest evidence for the Old Syriac separate gospels is their use by bishop Aitalaha of Edessa who was bishop of Edessa from AD 323 to AD 345 or 346.
		Vööbus gathered the extant Greek and Syriac fragments which were written by Rabbula and by examining his gospel quotations, proved that Bishop Rabbula actually used an Old Syriac gospel text like S and C, not the Peshitta.
		A significant number of the world's surviving Syriac manuscripts and historical evidence for S, C, P, Ph and H are preserved in the UK and Ireland; in the British Library, London, the Cambridge University Library, The Bodleian Library, Oxford, The Chester Beatty Library in Dublin and the John Rylands Library in Manchester.

		The official use of the Old Syriac gospel at the Mount Izla monastery demonstrates that it was preferred by the East Syriac monks and anchorites.
		There are some Old Syriac relics in his work which he inherits from older authors, but in general his great work demonstrates the decline of the Old Syriac gospel text type in use amongst the East Syriac clergy.
