Overview

Volume 1 of Francis C. Burkitt’s Evangelion da-Mepherrashe contains the Syriac text and English translation of the Old Syriac manuscript Curetonianus. The print edition presents the text and translation in parallel columns on facing pages in diglot form. The Syriac text follows Curetonianus wherever it is extant and the Sinaitic Palimpsest where it is not. A brief apparatus is also provided in order to show the differences between Curetonianus and the Sinaitic Palimpsest. His translation freshly and literally presents the text, attempting to provide a concordant translation with a given Syriac word always being translated with the same English word if possible. This makes it possible for the student and scholar to gain a basic idea of the text contained in the manuscript.
