| | Review of Kiraz, Comparative Edition of the Syriac Gospels |
 | | Unlike the vetus syra, whose circulation was apparently limited (it was overshadowed by the more ancient Diatessaron), the Peshitta enjoyed the approval of clergy whose allegiance was to the Western "Great Church"; it became the standard NT of the Syrian church. |
 | | Such a procedure is inescapable in a pocket edition, but it is obviously an obstacle for a thorough study of the text of the versions. |
 | | Other variants in the Syriac are, however, paralleled in the earliest fathers (e.g., Justin, Clement, Origen) and in other early versions (e.g., the vetus latina). |
