	MORRISON: Book Review - Gillian Greenberg, Translation Technique in the Peshitta to Jeremiah.
		Several examples of minuses (Peshitta and LXX agree against the MT; the LXX and MT agree against the Peshitta) are adduced to support her theory.
		When Peshitta scholars seek to determine the relationship between the Peshitta and the LXX (or any biblical version for that matter), the first step must be to present a complete list of the agreements between the Peshitta and the LXX for a given biblical book or section of a book.
		Greenberg’s “Peshitta School” and her understanding of the consciousness of later scribes offer a fascinating approach to resolving the obscure origins of the Peshitta version. Above all, she is to be commended for her willingness to investigate Peshitta Jeremiah, despite the obstacles that impede a thorough study of this biblical book.

		Considering the agreement among Fundamentalist scholars regarding the pedigree of the Peshitta and the incongruity of its acceptance by two groups of scholars which are fundamentally opposed to one another on essential doctrines such as the Trinity and divine inspiration of Scripture, we thought the Aramaic Text in question warranted an inspection.

	Review of Weitzman
		Weitzman demonstrates a sensitivity to Hebrew lexical and grammatical forms in the Peshitta, while showing that the rendering is not formally correspondent in a literal sense.
		This finding is strengthened by chapter four, "Unity and diversity in the Peshitta," where Weitzman shows that that there is much more consistency among the fifteen or so colleagues (as he estimates their number) who composed this version than is often asserted.
		The basis of this correction is that he is able to show that recent studies of dialectology demonstrate that innovations of usage make their way gradually through communities and should not be expected to be represented evenly (p.

	Review of Weitzman, The Syriac Version of the Old Testament
		Chapter 2 treats the relationship between the Peshitta and the Hebrew; chapter 3 the Peshitta and other versions; chapter 4 unity and diversity in the Peshitta; chapter 5 the background of the Peshitta; and chapter 6 the establishment of the text of the Old Testament Peshitta.
		In chapter 3, the author treats the relationship of the Peshitta to the LXX and to the Jewish targums.
		Weitzman suggests that Peshitta Chronicles substitutes the Hebrew of 1 Kings 12-14 for a lengthy section because his Vorlage was illegible.

	Peshitta (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		From the Mediterranean east into India the Peshitta is still the Bible of preference among many Christians, though today nearly all who use it speak Arabic, or one of the tongues of South India.
		The codex is not the work of one man. Some of it goes back to the 7th century, some of it to the 5th century, and some of it might be earlier, because some portions were written before the vowel system was invented and that would put it prior to the 5th century.
		Another manuscript example of the Peshitta is found in the British Museum and it is believed by some to be the oldest dated manuscript of the Pentateuch.

		It is a striking feature of the Peshitta Old Testament[1] that corresponding to the occurrence in MT of the sequence kkl 'according to all' or 'according to every' about eighty-six times[2] (not including the one occurrence of kakkol with the definite article in Jb 24:24), the Peshitta only has the sequence ’yk kl seven times.
		The Peshitta does the same in Num 1:54, 8:20, Dt 1:41, 12:8, 17:10, 18:16, 24:8, 26:14, Jos 10:32, 10:37, 11:23, 21:42 (Hebrew versification), 1 Ki 8:39, 8:43, 8:56, 9:4, 21:26, 22:54, 2 Ki 11:9, 14:3, 15:34, 16:11, 16:16, 18:3, 23:32, 23:37, 24:9, 24:19, Jer 50:21, 52:2 and Ezek 24:24.
		The explanation for why the Peshitta is so divergent from MT at these points is clearly not to be sought in supposing that the Peshitta translated a Vorlage other than MT. The supposition that the variations could occur in all the Hebrew books at exactly the point of this construction is implausible.

	Was the NT Written in Aramaic? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The Syriac of the Peshitta did not become popular until about the 3rd century AD, and it must be distinguished from the Aramaic being spoken in the 1st century.
		So while the Peshitta shows little variation, that does not mean that it is a faithful reproduction of anything older than the 5th century, but Lamsa tries to argue that it is a faithful reproduction of the very oldest texts.
		There are two major fallacies involved in this statement: one is that the Syriac of the Peshitta is not the Aramaic of the 1st century, and two, it is an undeniable fact of history that the predominant language of the time in the geographical areas of the New Testament was Greek.

	The Development of the Canon of the New Testament - Peshitta
		By the beginning of the 5th century, or slightly earlier, the Syrian Church's version of the Bible, the Peshitta ('simple' translation) was formed.
		For the eastern part of the Syrian Church this constituted the closing of the canon, for after the Council of Ephesus (431 CE) the East Syrians separated themselves as the Nestorians.
		There are many surviving manuscripts of the Peshitta, the oldest of which bears the date 442.

	Lund, Converse Translation in Peshitta Ezekiel
		The most egregious example of the liberty the Peshitta took with its Hebrew source text, according to Cornill, was to change the meaning of a verse into its opposite meaning by the addition or omission of the negation.
		Cornill was mislead by basing his knowledge of the Peshitta on the poor quality text of the printed editions available in his day instead of on the better quality text of MS 7a1 and other early MSS which serve as the basis of the new Leiden edition.
		Goshen-Gottstein describes the Peshitta text of the Paris Polyglot as "an unreliable reproduction of one of the worst possible manuscripts" (Goshen-Gottstein 1960: 2).

		The Peshitta had from the 5th century onward a wide circulation in the East, and was accepted and honored by all the numerous sects of the greatly divided Syriac Christianity.

		Master Yeshuvah had come to reestablish and enliven the universal mystical spirituality that was always present in Judaism, but which had become largely forgotten and covered by the dross of worldliness and contortions of interpretation.
		In addition to the four accounts that were canonized by the emerging Roman orthodoxy into the Peshitta, the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Peter, the Gospel of Philip, the Secret Gospel of Mark, the Gospel of Mary Magdalena, and other works are still extant in whole or part.
		However, from the perspective of the Mystical Qabalah, the series of images listed in the Revelation provide an allusion for the process of mystical awakening through the four worlds in the ascension of a specialized version of the single-column "Tree of Life of the Treasuries of the House of Elohim".

		Thus the standard deviation is 181.1049, and the Z-value of the Peshitta ranksum is 7.189 (=(3,393-2,091)/181.1049).
		The resulting Peshitta ranksum would be 2,403, still far less than the control ranksum of 4,383, and the odds of chance occurrence of the halved Peshitta Z scores would still be less than 1 in 43,454,423.

		That the Peshitta mss (manuscripts) are almost exactly the same (besides minor spelling differences), is even acknowledged by the Greek primacists (those who believe that the Greek is the original).
		That the Peshitta mss agree so closely while the Greek mss have numerous variants (many of which can be shown to be caused by Aramaic roots, as earlier articles in this series have shown), speaks volumes.
		There is also an Aramaic version of the Old Testament, known as the Peshitta OT, or Peshitta Tanakh, which is a âtranslationâ from the Hebrew OT (like the Septuagint, the Peshitta OT is believed to have been âtranslatedâ from a Hebrew version older than the widely-accepted and recent, Massoretic text).

		The ruling school of thought is that the Peshitta is simply a retranslation of the traditional (revised) Greek text in the early 5th century.
		Scholars have generally agreed that The Peshitta and Peshitto Bibles are in very close agreement with the Traditional Received Text of the New Testament (and Old Testament, for that matter).
