The New Testament in Syriac Peshitta version: based on the collations of John Pinkerton and on the B.F.B.S. text with a critical apparatus and an introduction to the history of the text /

"More than one hundred years after the publication of the BFBS volume of the Peshitta NT (1920), a critical edition of the Praxapostolos is still a desideratum. This edition fills the gap for the Corpus Paulinum. It expands the collations of the Scottish scholar John Pinkerton (1882-1916) up to some 60 manuscripts, incl. 5 lectionaries and 7 'masoretic' manuscripts; it is based on the (slightly modified) BFBS text, which was established by the majority vote of Pinkerton's collated manuscripts. The present edition turns the editorial principle of 'majority vote' into a textual history, considering the East-West-bifurcation of textual traditions, and the development of the Textus receptus by standardization. 9 printed editions are included, among which are 6 of the Textus receptus (incl. the editio princeps of 1555), thus covering the transmission of the Corpus Paulinum from the beginnings up to the 16th century"-- Provided by publisher TAB LE OF CONTENTS PREFACE BIBLIOGRAPHY I.
